Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Dark Cocoa Powder
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter Cold
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Coffee Extract
  • 1/4 cup Coffee Brewed strong and cooled
  • 1/2 cup Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer
  • 3/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
  • 1 tablespoon Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Softened
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Peppermint

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add the cold butter and cut in with a fork or pastry blender until the butter is in small pieces. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Add the egg, coffee extract, cooled coffee, and creamer and mix together with a fork until a soft dough forms.
  • Divide the dough in half and place on a baking sheet.
  • Pat each section into a 6 inch circle. Score each circle into 6 wedges. The dough is very sticky, so do not try to move it.
  • Bake at 400°F for 18 minutes. Do not over bake.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut the scones apart where the scored marks were. Let cool completely.
  • Beat together the butter, peppermint extract, and coffee creamer until creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar.
  • Spread the frosting on the cooled scones and sprinkle with the crushed candy canes.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Store in a sealed container.

Notes

  • If you make these ahead of time, do not frost them right away. The candy canes will melt and get sticky.
