These scones are fabulous! I put them together on a saturday night and just baked them right out of the fridge on Sunday morning. Wonderful with your morning coffee, taste like a cinnamon roll in scone form.

Very good and easy to make, however, next time I will cut down on amount of cinnamon chips

I baked half and froze the other half formed and cut into wedges on a plate. Mmmmm was all my 4 and 9 y/o kids could say! I baked the frozen scones at 425 for 25-28 minutes covering with foil to prevent over browning the last few minutes. Gave those to my mom who said they were the best scones she had ever had! And she really likes scones........ Also used raw sugar instead of regular on top for a little more crunch.

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes! My husband and I are addicted to them! I am thinking of making them for Christmas gifts this year, so the freezing-before-baking will be very handy. I am wondering too, what's the recommendation on temp and time for baking the frozen scones?

Love this recipe. I take the dough and divide it into half and then half again. Then I put chocolate chips in one, white chips in another, dried cranberries,(soak in warm water and they stay soft) and the cinnamon chips. I also drizzle them with powder sugar icing. Took them to work for a holiday lunch and they were a hit. I have found that the buttermilk is the secret to these scones, as I have made some with out the buttermilk and they were dry. Great Recipe!!

I made these at Christmas for the first time and they were a big hit. Soooo yummy and moist. I just made another batch & baked half; the other half I formed and cut into the 6 wedges, froze them on a plate, then wrapped them individually to freeze for other times. I see that many people feel that freezing these & then baking them right from the freezer makes them even better so I'm really looking forward to them, but bake for how long? There's quite a difference between the normal 10-3 minutes & the only other time I saw of 50 minutes. How long have others baked them (and at what temp) from the freezer?

These were a total hit with my family on Christmas morning. I'll try to reduce the butter next time. That's a lot and they were practically frying on the oven.

I haven't made these - YET (so the rating is for the cinnamon chips themselves!) ... but I wanted to reply about where to get cinnamon chips (I have an oatmeal cinnamon chip scone recipe I make all the time). A couple years ago - they were easier to get all year round. I find they are more available around Christmas. Walmart carries them, so does Jewel (in the midwest), Kroger (in the south) as well as Lowes Foods and Food Lion. I asked a local Food Lion to order a case for me one year - I think there were 12 bags in the box. You could try asking your local grocer to order these from Hershey. OR - go to the Hershey's website and at the bottom of the page there is a "locate hard to find products" and you can find a location near you that is selling them. Good Luck! (There are MANY uses for cinnamon chips!)

I froze mine, too, but was getting nervous because they were hardly ready in time. They need to bake for a long time when frozen! Mine, they were a little crowded on the baking sheet, but baked for 50 minutes and were just right. So good!

Super yummy! Our family liked them better when I had to freeze them and bake them later, than when I made them and baked them right away! Both times yummy...just yummier after freezing!

I was so excited to find this recipe! First time I made these I froze them before baking, then baked at a later time straight from the freezer at same temp and a little longer time. Second time, I made them according to the recipe, baking right away. They are excellent scones both ways, but I have to say that next time I plan to make them up, freeze them, and bake them. Baking them frozen changed them slightly and my whole family agreed they were even more moist that way!

The comment before mine (YoungChef14) was most likely in the same class I was when we made them. I will vouch for him/her; these scones really are amazing, and they aren't hard! If you're making them for a group, make extras: everyone will want them.

Go CCAT!

The first time I tried this recipe I was a little disappointed. It did't have enough cinnamon flavor. The scones spread out when baked making them too thin for my taste. I made them a second time and made the following changes: first I added 1 teaspoon of really good Saigon Cassia cinnamon to the dry ingredients. After forming the 7 inch circles, I then wrapped them in plastic wrap and refrigerated the discs for an hour to harden up the butter again. This helped with spreading out. They stayed much thicker like I wanted them to. Finally, I brushed them with melted butter and sprinkled raw tubinado sugar on the top. After baking and cooling, the sugar adds a bit of crunch to the scone.

These are probably the best scones that I have ever made! I think they are at their best when served warm. They are not at all dry, unlike many scones. I will definitely be making these again!

This is an excellent recipe however I used chocolate chips because I cannot find cinnamon chips anywhere. They are not dry at all and the recipe is very easy. My daughter keeps asking me to make these again. Definitely a keeper.

These are the best scones I've ever had in my life. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but it is true. I really like Panera's cinnamon chip scones, but these scones leave those in the dust. They are amazing hot, warm, or even cold. The texture is perfect, not too dry, very rich. The taste is out of this world. I made the recipe exact, and I did make a dozen. I would recommend a little bit longer cooking time than what the recipe calls for ( about 15-18 ). I also sprinkled course sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon on top to give it a little crunchy layer. They were fantastic.

I make these delicious scones all the time for work. You can find generic or name brand cinnamon chips at a Woodman's, but I think they are only in IL and WI.

Several people have asked where to get cinnamon chips. I have not found them in the grocery store. We do have a bulk supply store near us. It is run by the Mennonite community. I can always find them there. I know that not everyone will have a store like this near them but if you have any kind of bulk store...check it out.

I have made these so many times and they are just AWESOME! Everyone I give them to adores them, my boyfriend eats them three at a time! I do substitute canola oil for the butter though, healthier and still super tasty!

These scones are fantastic. I did not have buttermilk so I used heavy cream instead. I didn't put butter and sugar on top but I made a maple icing and put that on them and then sprinkled walnuts on the icing. So good! Will make these often.

I received endless compliments on these scones! They had the perfect texture! And they were easy to make! I will be using the base of this recipe to try other flavor scones also.

Delicious! I couldn't find cinnamon chips so I chopped up 10oz of heath bar instead and it was very good.

I usually avoid scones because they are dry - not these! Absolutely delicious! I made them for a dinner party and every crumb was gone.

Very moist and delicious! Had a hard time finding the cinnamon baking chips at the grocery store but found them at Hershey's Chocolate World. Can anyone tell where they found the chips?

My sister Phyllis loves cinnamon chip scones from Panera. I searched the net far and wide and decided to try these - mainly because of the good wholesome ingredients with the butter, buttermilk and such and also uses a full bag of the cinnamon chips! They are great! I took 1/2 of them to my sister...and she says they are scrumptious! Will make again for special occasions! YUM!
