Pumpkin Chocolate Chip And Walnut Scones

It feels like fall outside, leaves are falling, and the air is getting chilly.But the colors are beautiful, I love looking out the window and seeing the leaves on the grass, yes it's a bit messy, but beautiful colors, nonetheless.
And when fall is here, the number one thing that comes to my mind are pumpkins. Especially now the stores are full of them, and Halloween is approaching, so it's a fun time of the year.
With that in mind, I came across this lovely recipe for pumpkin scones, which I thought were just gorgeous and I had to try them myself.

Ingredients
2 -3/4 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tab. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/2 cup cold butter, cut in cubes
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts
2/3 cup pumpkin
2 large eggs

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together, uncluding sugar and spices. Add the cubed butter,  and using a pastry cutter cut in the butter until it resembles small peas. Next add the cocolate chips and walnuts to the dry ingredients and lightly mix it all together.
In another medium size bowl, mix the pumpkin with the eggs.
Add the pumpkin mix to the dry ingredients, and using a spatula mix everything together, form the dough in one disk, cut it into 8 triangles . Just like you would cut a pizza. The scone should be laid on a cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes, so the scones set. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake 30 minutes.
