I was going to try orange chocolate chip scones, but I was too lazy to zest the orange and the Frangelico was right there.
2/3 cup whipping cream
1 egg
1 tspn vanilla
2 tspns Frangelico
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 tspns baking powder
1/4 tspn salt
1/3 cup butter
1/2 - 2/3 cup chocolate chips
cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, as seem good to you
Preheat the oven to 375. Mix the egg, cream, vanilla and booze in a small bowl and set aside.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse and crumbly. Stir in the chocolate chips. Add the liquids and stir until the dough comes together. (I needed extra cream, so keep some at hand.)
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, just a few times. (It's sticky, but not as bad as Guinness gingerbread batter.) Shape the dough into a flattish circle and cut into 8 triangles. The original recipe included a wash a one well-beaten egg and a tablespoon of milk, but I didn't make that.
Bake for 15 minutes. Toothpick testing is harder with chocolate chip things.
Nom nom nom.
