1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar,
cocoa, baking powder, and salt. With 2 knives or a pastry cutter, cut
in butter until pastry is crumbly. Stir in chocolate chips and orange
peel.

2. In a small bowl, beat cream and egg yolks with a fork until well
blended, then quickly stir into dry ingredients until dough is soft
and holds together.

3. On a greased foil-lined baking sheet, drop dough by scant 1/4
cupfuls into 12 mounds. Brush with egg white.

4. Bake 13 to 18 mins, or until a toothpick inserted in centers comes
out clean. Do not overbake to avoid drying out scones. Let cool in
pan.

sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Process to mix. Add butter and
process with on/off motion until mixture is crumbly. Add cream and egg
yolks and process until dough holds together. Stir in chocolate chips
