Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (42g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until combined.
  3. Whisk in the 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a separate small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until smooth.
  6. Stir in the egg yolk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  8. Place a small dollop of the cheesecake mixture on top of each brownie cookie.
  9. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the cheesecake into the brownie batter.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth cheesecake swirl.
  • Do not overbake the cookies; they will continue to set as they cool.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
