These came out perfect! I really enjoyed them. I didn’t have sour cream so I whipped up heavy cream and it worked great. I cherish my cinnamon-chips because they are hard to find and this recipe is worth using them in! I will make these again soon.

These scones had great cinnamon flavor and a nice texture. I liked that you did not need to use cream or buttermilk as I don’t uually have these ingredients on hand. To make wedges I added a bit more flour (2 Tbls.) to better hande the dough. I make sure that the counter surface & my hands are well floured. I dipped the cutting knife in flour between cutting wedges and they held their shape nicely.

The dough was too sticky to make wedges, so it ended up being a dry, crumbly cake with wedge lines on top. Fantastic idea, but recipe needs work.

These are delicious! I softened the butter, but they were still just as light and fluffy as if I had done the frozen grated butter, etc. Love them so much, would make them again. Great flavor.

Awesome taste – but had a hard time separating them, even after they baked for half the time suggested. When I make them again, and I will, I will probably do them with an ice cream scoop in drop form.

The smell in my house as they baked was unbelievable!! And then they tasted as good as they smelled. The only issue I had was they were so sticky it was hard to separate them before baking so I just scored them and baked them and when they came out I used a pizza cutter to cut and separate them. I’m thinking next time I will bake them for half the time then pull them out and cut and separate them and then finish baking. But oh my goodness were they good!!! Thanks!!
