# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, ground coffee, and salt.
03 -
Cut in chilled butter with a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands until pea-sized pieces form, leaving some larger chunks.

Stir cinnamon chips into the dry mixture.
05 -
In a small bowl, whisk together cream and eggs. Fold this mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
06 -
On a floured surface, gently knead the dough a few times. Form the dough into a circle about ¾ inch thick and slice into 8 triangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
07 -
Brush scones lightly with heavy cream. Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden around the edges.
08 -
Let the scones cool slightly before drizzling with the coffee glaze and sprinkling with additional cinnamon chips.
09 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, coffee, and salt until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more coffee if required.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Ensure the butter remains chilled before mixing for flakier scones.
02 -
Avoid over-kneading the dough to maintain a tender texture.
