Cinnamon Chip Scones
Scones are one of the best breakfast foods there are. What am I saying? I eat scones any time of the day, or night! My mom’s recipe for scones is the best I’ve ever had. I know, I’m partial, but it’s true.
The other day, I noticed a post on the Pioneer Woman’s site, for Cinnamon Scones. I thought that would be a perfect variation to my recipe.
I made my scone recipe, and some of Ree’s recipe. They came out delicious! Even Mom said they were really good! Here goes!
Thanks Ree, for the inspiration. Oh, and the bigger waistline!

Cinnamon Chip Scones
These Silpats are great for non stick removal of your scones after cooking. They stay put on the cookie sheet when taking out of the oven. Stop worrying about your baked goods slipping off the cookie sheet on to the floor with parchment paper, when removing to and from oven!
