Cinnamon Chip Scones

April 2, 2013 by Lindsey Boubel

I like Starbucks just as much as the next person. I’m in love with Coffee! They have delicious baked goods, sandwiches, and snacks. It’s a great place to study, meet up with friends, or just hang out. 

Because of the prices, it has to remain a special treat. My husband recently learned the importance of getting me Starbucks on road trips during out long haul to Texas. It’s a tradition that I’ve held for years. Getting four hours of sleep and rolling into the car with no makeup and a trans-fat loaded breakfast sandwich in my stomach is not my definition of fun.  All is forgotten, however,   if I can get some Starbucks to sip on down the road.

By the time I get to Starbucks, I can’t justify also buying a scone. I just spent $5 on a tiny cup of coffee!

 

The solution is these delicious cinnamon chip scones. They’re a Starbucks Knock off recipe. The glaze makes them look so professional you feel like it’s the real thing. Besides, you can have one warm out of your own oven, instead of the toaster oven.

My Mother-in-law, Pam, and I made these during our dutch baby pancake sugar high. There was a miscommunication about ingredients, and we measured out twice the amount of buttermilk we needed. Pam, who is always good at rolling with the punches said, “Well, I guess we’re making a double batch!” It ended up being the right call since they went so quickly!

I was surprised at how much I liked cinnamon scones. I usually shy away from cinnamon unless it’s mixed with apples, but these scones are so rich and creamy that the sharpness of the cinnamon complements them really well.

They are so easy to make, you’ll want to make it a tradition of your own.

Pam’s little dog, Kansas wanted a scone so badly!
