1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
5 tablespoons butter, cut into small slices (must use butter and it must be cold)
1 large egg, beaten lightly
1 cup sour cream (can use light sour cream or plain yogurt)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa. Mix well.
Cut in the cold butter pieces with a pastry blender or two knifes until the butter is in tiny chunks the size of pennies.
In another bowl beat egg lightly with a fork, add sour cream and mix well. Add wet mixture to middle of dry mixture.
Add chocolate chips and mix until flour mix is just moistened and forms a ball. You may need to add 1-2 Tbsp milk if dough is too dry.
Knead a few times and turn dough ball out onto prepared pan.
Press into a flat circle that is 2" thick.
With a sharp knife, cut in four "pie" sections, then cut each section in half again.
Bake in 400F oven for 15 minutes. Cool on pan.
