Cinnamon Roll Scones

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Dough may appear dry but should hold together when pressed.

Step 5

Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Gently pat into an approximate 8 inch by 10 inch rectangle.

Step 6

Spread with softened butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 7

Gently roll up dough into an 8 inch log. Using a sharp knife, cut log into 8 pieces. Place pieces onto prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until edges start to turn golden. For a softer center, bake for the minimum amount of time.

Step 9

Remove to a wire rack.

Step 10

In a small bowl, beat together confectioner's sugar, cream cheese, and salt until combined. Add in vanilla extract and 2 teaspoons milk, and beat until creamy. Add additional milk, as needed, to reach desired consistency.

Step 11

Spread glaze over warm scones. Allow glaze to set, and serve.

Step 12

Store leftovers in an airtight container.
