Chocolate Chip Coconut Scones

I HATE dry scones.  These are sweet and yummy.  It was passed down to me by one of our COWs. (That is CO's wife for you non military people - LOL) Coconut Scones: yield: 16 scones baking temp.: 375 degrees baking time: 22-25 min. This recipe is designed to be customized to your taste. You can make these scones a little sweeter and chewier, by using shredded, sweetened coconut in the dough. If you want a scone that's a little less sweet so the chocolate is more noticeable, use unsweetened coconut inside. The whole wheat flour and coconut milk make a dough that handles and cuts with ease. The curly coconut topping on these scones toasts up beautifully while they're baking. 2 cups white whole wheat flour (or ww.pastry flour works well too) 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
