These scones are actually better than Panera's. I used a cookie cutter but you can cut pat the dough into a circle and cut the scones into wedges or pat into a rectangle and cut into rectangles to look like Panera's.
Like Panera Bread Cinnamon Chip Scones
Scones
1 1/2 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup cinnamon chips

Scones:

Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Add cream, stir just to moisten.
Fold in cinnamon chips.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead mixture about 6-10 times to incorporate dry crumbs into mixture.

Cut circle into 8-10 even "triangles" wedges.
Places wedges on parchment lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
