Chocolate lovers will adore these moist, decadent scones that won me a blue ribbon in a baking competition. They’re perfect for a tea or brunch, and the mix of cocoa and chocolate chips makes them sweet enough for dessert. —Stephanie Sorbie, Glendale, Arizona

4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients. Cut in cream cheese and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, whisk 1 egg, cream and vanilla; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Stir in chocolate chips.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 10 times. Pat dough into a 6-in. circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges on a greased baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk remaining egg; brush over scones. Bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Serve warm.
