Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
Grate your cold butter or cut into small pieces with a knife. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. Set aside.
Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Pour this cream mixture over the flour mixture and stir together just until dough forms.
Add in your cinnamon chips folding until they are distributed through the dough.
Triangle Scones
Turnd dough onto a floured surface. Form the dough into a large 8 inch circle or 2 smaller 4-5 inch circles. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. You will get either 8 large scones or 16 small scones.
Transfer your scones to the parchement lined baking sheet and brush scones with the heavy cream. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake for 20-25 minutes for large scones and 15- 20 minutes for the smaller scones. You want them to be lightly browned on top.
Drop Scones
Use an ice cream scoop to drop your scone dough by rounded 1/4 cups onto parchment lined baking sheet. Leave 2-3 inches space between the scones. Brush with cream and top with sugar if desired.
Bake for roughly 20 minutes or unitl golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before adding glaze if desired.
Glaze
Mix the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla and whisk until it is the desired consistency. Add more cream if needed. Alternately if your glaze is too runny add a little bit more powdered sugar.
