Triple Cinnamon Scones
Triple Cinnamon Scones | With THREE layers of cinnamon you would think you were eating a gooey cinnamon roll! These Triple Cinnamon Scones have a wonderful glaze full of cinnamon that can be drizzled or dipped onto the scones! You can make these scones ahead of time and freeze. Don’t glaze until the day they are being served.
Do you love scones as much as I do? Here are some of my favorite scone recipes: GINGER SNAP SCONES, CHRISTMAS SCONES AND STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE SCONES.
Here’s how you make these awesome scones!
Form dough into a 9 inch square, brush on the butter, sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
Fold one side to the center.
Fold the remaining side over the top, overlapping the other side a bit.
From into a 3 inch by 19 inch rectangle.
Cut rectangle into SIX 3-inch pieces.
Cut each square from corner to corner to form somewhat of a triangle, Separate 1-inch apart and bake!
FOR MINI SCONES:
Cut each 3-inch square in half and then into 4 triangles.

Triple Cinnamon Scones
Ingredients
For the Scones:
- 3/4 cup half and half
- 1 cup cinnamon chips (see above for link)
- 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pats

- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
- 3-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 7 tablespoons water
Instructions
For the Scones:
- Combine the cinnamon chips with the half and half in a small bowl.
- Let the mixture rest for about 20 minutes. (this creates a nice cinnamon flavored milk)
- While the cinnamon mixture is resting, get started putting together the rest of the ingredients.
- In a food processor mix together the flour, sugar , baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter and just mix until crumbly. (it's okay to have some larger chunks of butter) NOTE: you can also do this by hand in a large bowl.
- Put the crumb mixture into a bowl (if a food processor was used).
- Add the egg and vanilla to the cinnamon-milk mixture, stirring to combine.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together.
For the Filling:
- Mix all the ingredients together until creamy and spreadable.
For the Glaze:
- Stir together the sugar, cinnamon and water.
To Assemble:
- On a well floured surface pat dough into a 9-inch square.
- Spread the filling over the dough.
- Fold one edge into the center and over the filling.
- Fold the remaining edge over the center.
- Gently pat into a 3-inch x 18-inch rectangle.
- Cut the rectangle into SIX 3-inch squares.
- Transfer the squares to a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Cut the square in half.
- Separate 1-inch apart.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 17 minutes. As soon as the scones come out of the oven remove them from the cookie sheet to a cooling rack.
- Cool completely.
- Coat each scone with glaze.
- You can dip each one, pour, brush or drizzle.

Hi…I live in Canada and can’t find Cinnamon chips anywhere. Is there anything I can use in replacement? Thanks!
Hi CanadianBaker, I’m sorry I really don’t. I think these scones would still be delicious with out the chips. Thanks for visiting! 🙂
Can you order from amazon, they are easily accessible at Walmart too, just as FYI, made by Hersey company.
CanadianBaker: I live in the U.S. and I can’t find cinnamon chips anywhere either any more. BUT, you can order cinnamon sweet bits from kingarthurflour.com. They aren’t too badly priced and a lot cheaper than buying cinnamon chips from Amazon. And they are amazing. Hope you get to make these, because they are to die for.
Thanks Carolyn for your help!♥
For the cinnamon chips…try Amazon…I’ve been able to locate just about everything there
They look wonderful. Can’t wait to make them!!
Thanks Diana! 🙂
Hi Becky, You’re right these scones are delicious. I got this recipe from my Mom’s recipe box….she had hand written it so I didn’t know where it came from. The recipes do seem to be almost exact.
The filling oozed out while baking. Did you chill before baking to lmit that?
Hi Karen, No I didn’t chill them. I did make them in the winter so my dough was cool.
I love cinnamon and these scones lol amazing. I have to make these next week
They are addictive and yummy Linda! 🙂
Can I use chocolate chips instead of the cinnamon chips and omit the soaking?
Oh….that sounds good Condace. Like Mexican chocolate with the cinnamon. The reason I soak the chips is the give the scones extra cinnamon flavor. You don’t have to soak your chips but it will add a little bit more of a chocolate flavor if you do. 🙂
I made these today and they are absolutely wonderful! Did not have half and half and used buttermilk instead
Hi Ginny, I love the swap out from half and half to buttermilk.
Hi Sheryl, I made these delicious Triple Cinnamon Scones today. They’re so good! The only thing I did differently was to brush a bit more than 1 tablespoon of the softened butter on the dough before adding the filling. I’m looking forward to trying some of your other scone recipes now. Thanks for posting!! I posted a picture of my scones on my blog: spooncitykitchen.blogspot.com It’s just a private blog I share with family and friends only, but feel free to take a look. I did reference you as the author of the recipe and put your URL for people who may want to give these scones a try. I did not post the recipe. Thanks again!!
That’s awesome Melissa! I’m glad you liked the recipe. It’s one of my favorites!
Great recipe, mine came out great! You have excellent photos and step by step directions, you really make it fool proof.
Thanks Kimberly! I love this scone recipe too! Have a great day and thanks for visiting!
