Preheat oven to 400˚F. Mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Cut the cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or two knives.
In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, egg, and vanilla. Then add it to the flour mixture along with the cinnamon chips. Mix with a fork until the mixture comes together. DO NOT over mix.
Turn out onto a floured surface. Knead a couple of times and then form an 8-inch circle.
Cut into 8 wedges with a floured knife. Separate the wedges and place them on a parchment-covered baking sheet.
Brush each scone with the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
Bake at 400°F for 14 to 16 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
Cinnamon Icing
Combine the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Add more heavy cream, a little at a time, to thin it more. Or add more powdered sugar, a little at a time, to thicken it.
Once the scones have cooled, top them with the cinnamon icing.

Notes
One: Mini Scones
Divide the dough into half. Form each half into a 4 1/2 to 5-inch circle. Cut each circle into six wedges.
Two: Apple Cinnamon Scones
Omit the three tablespoons of heavy cream when making the dough. Add 1/2 cup of diced peeled apples. Use 2 teaspoons of apple pie spice instead of the cinnamon.
Three: Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to days, in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to three months.
