Do you like the flavor of cinnamon? Do you like to eat scones? Want to make fantastic tasting Cinnamon Chip Scones for breakfast or to snack on any other time??? Well, look no further, because this is the most delicious scone recipe you will ever want!
I’m so happy to share this recipe for amazing tasting cinnamon chip scones. They are soooo yummy! I recently bought a bag of cinnamon chips at the grocery store. Sometimes the chips are seasonal (not in stores), but they can be ordered online.
I’d never bought this kind of baking chip before but remembered seeing a scone recipe that used cinnamon chips, featured on Taste of Home, thought they sounded delicious, so decided to give it a try.
My husband said after tasting one that before he tried one, he wasn’t sure he was going to like them, but after tasting one (or two☺) decided they are awesome!
I sure hope you will give these cinnamon chip scones a try. WAY LESS EXPENSIVE than paying for the same quantity at your local coffeehouse. They are absolutely EASY AND DELICIOUS!

How To Make Cinnamon Chip Scones
First, add COLD butter to the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. I cut it into small pieces to allow it to mix in faster.
Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until mixture has been reduced to coarse crumbs.
Add the buttermilk and blend until the scone dough is moistened.
Add The Cinnamon Chips
Now you’re ready to add the cinnamon chips. Gently fold in until well distributed throughout the scone dough. TIP: Sometimes cinnamon chips are only available during the holidays, so grab them while you can, and stock up!
This is what the dough for the cinnamon chip scones will look like, once mixed together.
Shape the Dough
Sprinkle the dough lightly with flour. Knead the dough gently 10-12 times on a lightly floured surface, until the dough is no longer sticky.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a 7-inch circle. Brush the top of the scones with melted butter and then sprinkle the surface with granulated sugar.
Bake The Cinnamon Chip Scones
Place wedges onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake them in the oven for about 13-15 minutes, or until they have become lightly browned.
I enjoyed making cinnamon chip scones and could tell from the amazing aroma coming out of my oven as they were baking that I would LOVE these, too. Wow, was I right, because they are so yummy.
Remove the cinnamon chip scones to wire rack to cool. Prepare the sweet glaze and then lightly “paint” it onto the top of each scone with a pastry brush. Let the glaze harden, then serve.
ENJOY These Tasty Cinnamon Chip Scones!
Cinnamon chip scones go perfectly with a morning cup of coffee! They are soft on the inside, and they are FILLED with delicious cinnamon flavor! I really believe you will absolutely LOVE these cinnamon chip scones.
The recipe makes 16 medium sized scones, so I put half of them in my freezer for another time. Wrap them well, then store them in an airtight container until you’re craving them again! How perfect is that???

↓↓ PRINTABLE RECIPE BELOW ↓↓
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup plus 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar , divided
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold butter , cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 package (10 oz.) cinnamon baking chips
- 2 Tablespoons butter , melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 5-6 drops of water (or more) (enough to thin the glaze to a "thin, "paintable" consistency
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender until mixture is reduced to coarse crumbs.
Stir buttermilk in to the mixture. Stir only until moistened. Fold in cinnamon chips until dispersed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough gently 10-12 times (until dough is not sticky). Divide dough in half; form each half into a 7 inch circle. Brush each half with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar.
Cut each circle into 8 wedges (for medium sized), or 6 wedges (for larger). Separate the wedges and place them onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 13-15 minutes (or until light golden brown). Remove to a wire rack to cool.
- Mix glaze ingredients together in small bowl. Using a pastry brush, "paint" the glaze over the tops of the scones. Let glaze harden, then serve at room temp, for best taste! Enjoy!
