I make these a lot. They are so simple and yummy. You should increase the OJ amount until all the dry good bond (usually 8-10 tbl)

These are WONDERFUL! You will need to add more liquid (I just added more OJ). I also added some orange peel, for a little extra zing. These went very quickly at work.

Read and follow the reviews on this one. It is necessary to add enough extra orange juice to get the dough to a rolling consistency. I altered the recipe for 50 servings, threw in extra orange zest and juice and they were absolutely wonderful. The orange flavor blends so well with chocolate. Thanks for this one, Holly!

Very delicious, almost taste like chocolate chip cookies! I too added two extra tablespoons of orange juice and an extra tsp. of butter. I have tried lots of scone recipes and these are definitely the best yet! Also, just wanted to point out that this recipe makes four "regular" size scones. If you want more, double the recipe! :)

The final result was fantastic. However, the liquid measurements are way, way off on this recipe. I used 4 tbsp orange juice and 3 tbsp milk before it finally came together as a dough. I used white chocolate chips and added orange zest. After they were done I drizzled an orange juice/powdered sugar glaze over them and they were irresistible. I think the basic recipe could be altered to accommodate different fruits or chips just as successfully.

This recipe tastes great, but the liquid stated by it was inaccurate. I had to use a lot more (over 3x more) than it called for in order to get a workable dough.

These were really good. I was looking for something similar to the consistancy of Starbuck's scones. While I didn't make these as thick as SB's, they were wonderful. I used Brumble & Brown yogurt, about 7 tablespoons, and Craisons. Very good.

These were WAY too dry. I even added 3 extra tablespoons of orang juice, but they were still so cry they crumbled while I was trying to shape them. The taste was pretty good after they baked, though.

These scones are delicious! I just made them and am enjoying one with tea at this moment. Easy, quick and perfectly textured! I only had white chocolate chips, so I chopped them up and added them - yummy! I'll make them again for sure. Thanks for the great recipe!

These were GREAT! Everything one would want from a scone. I substituted milk for the oj the recipe called for and we really enjoyed them. I've also made them with cinnamon chips instead of chocolate (divine) and with dates and nuts instead of chocolate chips - they are ALWAYS great! Thank you SO MUCH for posting this one!

I found these scones to be very delicious. I did have to use 4 tablespoons of orange juice to get the dough formed. My 5 year old also loves them!

really good scones. I used regular chocolate chips instead and rolled out until the dough was as thick as the chocolate chips. I also used 4 tbs of orange juice so the dough could form better.

I should have read all the reviews. I usually do). My scones came out really dry. I had to scrunch them up into balls to get the "dough" to stick together. I should have known to add milk, but I didn't. That said, the scones tasted very good anyway, kind of like a shortbread cookie.

These are delicious and very flexible. For extra taste, I would try vanilla extract or almond extract, dried cherries, golden raisins... the possibilities are endless!

I too added more butter (8 TBSP. total) and took some advise in another review...used 1/2 c. of 1% milk in place of the oj. I threw in 1 teaspoon of cherry extract just to experiment. Oh....yummy! I've also made the recipe with oj, but will add orange zest next time (as others have done) because I didn't taste as much of the orange flavor as I would have liked. All in all, molto gustoso! Bravo!

Upped the butter to 8Tbl. Didn't have OJ but put in 1/2c. 1% milk and 1tsp. orange extract. Didn't have chocolate chips so used Orange Essence Craisins. The smell alone lured my boyfriend to the oven to taste (and burn his tongue) on the first one out! Softer than most scones (I think it was the extract oil?)) but the flavors are paired perfectly! Maybe after a day will be more dense? Don't know much about scones but can't wait to try w/ chocolate chips!

i also used a full stick (8 tbsp) butter and 8 tbsp (1/2 cup) orange juice. and also zest from about half an orange. these were really good, i thought. when they came out of the oven, it was delicious!!! try not to overwork the dough too much, i think i did and it ended up making it a little too tough. these are really good for breakfast, so i will probably make them a good deal.

Easy to make and tasted great!! Will be making this recipe again! I followed others advice and added more OJ and the scones were very moist!!! Not a bad thing but will cut back on OJ next time for a drier scone. Overall a keeper!!!

I put this recipe in my recipe box before it was reviewed so I didn't see the other suggestions about adding more orange juice. We might try these again adding more liquid as suggested. However, made as the recipe is written, they were difficult to make. There wasn't enough liquid so the dough just crumbled. We had to keep mixing and pressing the dough to get it molded and then it still crumbled a good deal while baking. Nice, very sweet flavor, but definitely needed more liquid.
