GPT 3.5
To find the difference between the amount of butter and sugar used, we need to subtract the weight of the sugar from the weight of the butter: 5/8 pound - 1/2 pound = 5/8 - 4/8 = 1/8 pound.
Thus, Colleen's Desserts used 1/8 pound more butter than sugar in the batch of scones. Answer: \boxed{\frac{1}{8}\text{ pound}}.
