In reply to Wendy. Hi Wendy! These will bake just fine as mini scones. :)

I noticed there isn’t the mini scone option for these. Will they not bake right as minis?

In reply to Anneliese e. Thank you so much for trusting my recipes, Anneliese! I'm so glad you've enjoyed everything so much! The cinnamon glaze will change the flavor a bit, but you can certainly do it. :)

Hi Sam! I love your recipes, not a single one has failed! So delicious! I was wondering, could I do a cinnamon glaze instead of the cinnamon sugar? Would it still taste like a snickerdoodle?

In reply to Clara. So sorry your scones spread, Clara! This can happen if the dough gets too warm or was over-worked :(

Hey Sam, I love your recipes! I made the scones today and I am so excited to try them. They did sort of spread out/collapse instead of rising up, do you have any ideas as to what I might have done wrong?

This is the third scone recipe I have tried from the website! Absolutely tastes like the snickdoodle cookies that are on the site, which ulltimately has great flavor. They were crispy on the outside but a bit too moist for me on the inside. I would rather make the cookies if I new they would be moist. The consistency of Sam’s raspberry and pumpkin scones are more to my liking. After tasting those, it is so hard to like any others!

These are very good scones. The outside is nice and crispy. The crumb is soft, moist and tender, and reminiscent of a soft snickerdoodle cookie. I felt the texture was more muffin-y than flaky. I thought the scones were a bit bland, and will add more cinnamon and vanilla to the dough another time. I’ll also add a cinnamon glaze. I didn’t use a food processor. I’ve been making scones for over 50 years and prefer cutting frozen grated butter in by hand to eliminate the possibility of over-processing the dough, which is something I’ve done in the past. Your tutorials are always very helpful.

I made these this morning! Your webpage is my “go-to” when I am looking for a recipe that I know will be delicious! However, I embellished this one. I added a 1/4 cup of cinnamon chips. Everything else as written. This was a WINNER in my book! My adult children were very complementary! Thank you for all your great recipes!!

In reply to Donna Savage. I'm so glad you enjoyed them, Donna! Assuming you didn't accidentally over-measure your flour, then it may have potentially just needed a few more pulses, but I'm glad they turned out!

I will lead by saying these turned out VERY well! So flaky and tasty. I do have a question, though. After initially adding the specified amount of cream and pulsing, I still had no semblance of a dough. I had to add almost double the amount to get it to hold together enough even to gently knead. What did I do wrong? They still turned out fabulous and I will make again!

Tender, Flaky, Buttery, Light, Sweet (like a cookie, but just right), Crisp on the edges, and absolutely Snickerdoodly. These things are amazing. They come together very easily in the food processor. I forced as much topping onto them as they would allow, and it paid off. Thanks for the nice, simple laminating process. Another big-time winner, Sam.

In reply to Prash @ YummilyYours. A friend of mine has always wanted to develop a cookie fax machine. I told her, though, that the crumbs would get into the works and mess it up, so it wouldn't work.

Great recipe!! Perfectly tender and still crisp on the outside. Love the snickerdoodle twist! I’m making them again this morning!
I replaced the cream with coconut cream and it was great!
Thanks for all the research you do!
