Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup butter or margarine
-
1 beaten egg yolk
-
1 8-ounce carton plain yogurt
-
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate pieces

1 cup sifted powdered sugar

1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
-
1 teaspoon milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
1.
In a large bowl stir together flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the 1/2 cup butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; set aside.
2.
Combine egg yolk and yogurt; add to dry ingredients. Add chocolate pieces. Stir mixture until moistened. On a lightly floured surface, gently knead dough 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Roll or pat dough into a 9-inch circle; cut in 10 wedges. Place wedges 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
3.
Bake in a 375 degree F oven about 18 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Remove from baking sheet; cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
4.
In a small mixing bowl stir together the 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, milk, and vanilla. Add more milk, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, until glaze is of a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over scones; if desired, dust top with additional powdered sugar. Serve warm. Makes 10 scones.
