My favorite non coffee treats at Starbucks are Toffee Almond Bars and Molasses Cookies. Does anyone have tried and true recipes for either????????

I want to add to Mary Chris' list: my favorites are the cinnamon scones and the chocolate chip scones. Any good/close substitutes?

Here is my English Scone Recipe

2 C flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp CHILLED butter, cut into pieces
3/4 C milk, more like scant 1 C
Up to 1/2 C of any add-in you choose: chopped dried apricots, chopped crystalized ginger, raising, chocolate chips, nuts, fresh or frozen blueberries, dried cranberries, etc. The add-ins go in just before kneading the dough at the end of the preparation.

1 Preheat oven to 450. Grease a baking sheet or use a stone.
2. In a food processor, combine dry ingredients. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse on and off until the mixture resembles coarse corn meal. Transfer to a bowl.
If not using a food processor, stir together dry ingredients, then cut in butter using two knives or a pastry blender.
3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk. Using a fork, mix UICKLY until a soft elastic dough forms.
4. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead 5-6 times until dough is smooth. Press out to 3/4" anc cut using a biscuit or cookie cutter, 3" cutter works well. Transfer to baking sheet/stsone.
5. Bake until scones rise and are golden brown on top, about 10 minutes.

My dc like the scones at Starbucks, I will have to make these soon and see if they are an acceptable replacement. I think you can buy cinnamon chips.
