These are very good scones, specifically for people who aren't die-hard scone lovers. I agree with the comment about almond extract, it is very powerful stuff, I would suggest cutting back on it a little bit.

These were okay... it really depends on the quality of chocolate you use.

I also, like someone suggested used hazelnut creamer because i could not find hazelnuts. These were simple and delicious!!!

I have made these 3 times this week. I love them and have been sharing with friends. I haven't tried with hazelnuts yet, but can imagine it would taste great! I make on a rectangle baking stone. they cook perfectly and are non stick!

This recipe was my first attempt at making scones. It was very easy & the scones were delicious. This recipe is a keeper. I'm adding extra hazelnuts next time I make these though, for my taste. Thanks for the recipe!

These scones are a wonderful way to entice non-scone lovers to try something new. Just go easy on the hazelnut/almond extract! (I used almond....very powerful stuff!) Try them!

These scones are very tasty. The ingredients go perfect together and they even look good. I love hazelnuts and they toast even more when baked. Delicious!

These scones are wonderful!

These were good, but basically tasted like a big chocolate chip cookie. I was looking for something a little different in a scone. But chocolate chip lovers will enjoy them.

This is a great recipe for customizing. I used the same basic recipe, only the changes I made were: omit hazelnuts and choc chips, instead I added 1/2 cup currants and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, and I added a couple of dashes of baking spice (Penzeys) and changed the almond extract to 1 ts vanilla, 1/2 ts almond. These were wonderful and my family scarfed them all down. I'm lucky I even got one!

I baked these scones and brought them to work. There was nothing but crumbs left within minutes. Everybody loved them. I actually realized I had no Buttermilk at the last minute so I replaced it with Half and Half and they still came out delicous!! I will definitely make these again.

These were GREAT! I have made them twice, and i left out the hazelnuts both times (only because I didn't have any on hand) but I'm sure they would be good with the hazelnuts! I used mini chocolate chips once and regular ones the other time, and both times they turned out wonderful. My family loved them and I will definately make them again!

I made these last night and took the advice of someone that said to use hazelnut creamer instead of the butternmilk and leave out the nuts. I also added a tiny bit more brown sugar to make them just a little sweeter. Although they were very yummy....I really did not taste the hazelnut at all. To me they just tasted like big chocolate chip cookies. I did the drop method and got about 2 dozen. All in all...they were very good.

This recipe is a new family favorite! I've long been searching for a scone recipe worthy of my favorite bakery scones, and this is the one. I will note however that for my taste the 1 1/2 teaspoons of almond extract is too much -- the almond flavor is so strong that it's like marzipan candy. I cut the amount in half and felt it was perfect, still noticeably an almond flavor but not overwhelming the other flavors. The full cup of chocolate chips will seem like overkill to many, but I'm a chocoholic so I was very pleased! It's also a lovely recipe made with dried cherries instead of chocolate chips.

The best!!

these were pretty good. I made them with almonds instead of hazelnuts and used mini choco chips. My co-workers and husband liked them. I also divided them into rounds instead of triangles.

I have never made scones before and these turned out very well. Thanks for such a great recipe!

I used 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour and they were fabulous! My children and husband raved!
