Today's Cozy Cafe recipe is for double chocolate chip scones! These scones are a lightly sweet treat that pair well with sweet beverages, and can be served with jam, cream, or butter.
These scones can be served in a variety of shapes: the classic triangle/wedge, biscuit-like rounds, or even fun custom shapes (see below for the direwolf scones one Cozy Cafe team member made for an ill-fated Game of Thrones premiere party, where the food was fantastic, but the show disappointed the world at large).
