Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Scones

Rich delicious cream cheese make these chocolate chip scones tender, flaky, and oh so amazing!

Scones are one of my favorite treats to enjoy; they're moist, flaky and delicious!  However, when I added cream cheese to the dough, it gave them a richness that takes them over the top.  I added in chocolate chips because I thought it would pair well with the cream cheese, and it definitely does.  This scone recipe with cream cheese is definitely my favorite, and I can't wait to try more flavors like strawberry, apricot, or even a savory scone like cream cheese and chives.  You can make these for breakfast, brunch or dessert...enjoy!

Warm & Flaky Glazed Vanilla Scones like Starbucks

Warm & flaky Vanilla Scones drizzled in a delicious Vanilla Glaze, just like Starbucks!

I love coffee, and nothing goes better with it then a warm Glazed Vanilla Scone.  I went to Starbucks the other day and had a Vanilla Scone which was quite delicious!  So of course I wanted to see if I could make them at home and I'm very happy to say that these were a huge success.  I made a batch and within a matter of minutes they were gone with the kids asking for more.  They're not complicated to make and you'll have everything you need right in your pantry.  The glaze makes enough for a drizzle on each scone, but you may want to make a double batch...which is what I did on my second batch because the kids were dipping their fingers into it so much.  These are a delicious accompaniment to coffee or tea and the perfect addition to breakfast, brunch or dessert!

I think scones are one of the most versatile recipes.  I love that you can add your favorite ingredient and put your own twist on it too!  When I saw this recipe in The Christmas Table, from Gooseberry Patch, I knew I wanted to try it.  This is a simple recipe where you get to choose what you'd like to add.  You can add chocolate chips (like I did), raisins, cherries, etc...the possibilities are endless!  The Christmas Table is the latest cookbook from Gooseberry Patch and yet again it is wonderful.  It's filled with so many amazing recipes, little tidbits of holiday traditions, ways to decorate and the lovely clip art too!  They have graciously offered one of you a chance to win one and I've thrown in a little something too.  Make sure you enter the contest below!
