Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon half and half divided
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Butter Vanilla Glaze
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, soda, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or 2 forks, until the mixture is crumbly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¾ cup half and half, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture, stirring only until the dry ingredients are moistened; the dough will be sticky.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a disc shape of ½-inch thickness. Slice into 10 to 12 wedges; place on the prepared pans. Brush the tops evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon half and half. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips over the top if desired.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes and glaze with Butter Vanilla Glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Butter Vanilla Glaze
- Combine the melted butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract. Add water as necessary to achieve desired consistency. Also add confectioners' sugar as needed.
