I love cinnamon. And, any recipe that starts with the word “cinnamon” grabs my attention. I’ve been looking for a good scone recipe. One that wasn’t too dry or too complicated to make. When I came across this recipe, it seemed just right.
Cinnamon Chip Scones
Compliments of It’s a Keeper

2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture forms pea sized pieces. Stir in cinnamon chips. In a separate bowl, whisk together the last three ingredients. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. The mixture will be somewhat wet.

Is it a Keeper?
Holy cow was this recipe easy. I was a little surprised by how wet the dough was. When I’ve made scones in the past, I was able to form the dough into a disk and then cut it into the tradition triangle pieces. That was not happening with this “dough”.
I ended up using my large Pampered Chef scooper to portion the dough. One scoop made the perfect size. I also topped my scones with some crystalized sugar.
The recipe calls for cinnamon chips. The ones I used were made by Hershey’s. I found them in the baking aisle at my grocery store — right next to the chocolate chips.
While they were baking my house smelled wonderful! So cinnamon-y!
So, as soon as these puppies came out of the oven (20 minutes exactly for me!), I dove right in. They were perfect! A nice crust on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. It was everything I wanted in a scone. Plus, they were super cinnamon-y! Bliss! I highly recommend this recipe!

Cinnamon chips are a new one for me. Guess I’m not wandering in the right grocery aisles. But these scones do sound like “Keepers.”
