Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with silpat or parchment paper and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture looks like fine crumbs.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour into flour mixture and stir until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped chocolate.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead very lightly and form a circle. (Add a little more flour to the dough if the dough becomes too sticky to handle). The flour circle should measure 5-inches by 5-inches and should be 1-inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the dough into 4 triangle wedges and place them on the small baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Step 10

Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to continue cooling.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, coffee, and melted chocolate until smooth. (Add extra powdered sugar if the glaze appears to be too thin OR add extra coffee if the glaze is too thick).

Step 12

Spoon glaze over the cooled scones.
