Cinnamon Sugar Scones

Yum Butter melting on scones! Scone dough My Breakfast!

I'm still loving those scones. I was talking to a friend of mine and she said there are these scones that have cinnamon chips in them and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Now doesn't that sound good. I could not wait another day to bake them. This morning, after my 5:45 spin class ,I came home and made up a recipe for these scones. I was so pleased with the turn out.

Ready to Bake

My Cinnamon Chip story is short but good! I could not find the chips anywhere. So my friend Shandy sent me some all the way from Seattle. I was thrilled to say the least. She is such a thougthful friend. Before that I was in Lake Tahoe, for vacation, and found them at Grocery Outlet. I stocked up on quite a few bags. So now I have a freezer full of Cinnamon Chips. But that is quite all right. I have these scones, cookies and a bundt cake to make that all have the chips in them!

Thanks again Shandy!

Love them scones!

This will be my first blog. I decided to start off with a recipe for some scones I love. We moved from a larger city to a small town about 4 years ago. The bakery scene is really lacking here. I decided my baked goods would have to do. While living in the town prior to this I had a favorite coffee shop called Big City. My friends and I would go and devour there scones. The scones came in all flavors, peach and blueberry were my favorites. I distinctly remember the big crystal sugar chunks on them. So I made this recipe in memory of my favortie place to buy scones!
