How to Make Simple Brownie Cream Cheese Squares
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted chocolate chips and remaining batter. Stir gently.
- Pour the chocolate batter over the plain batter in the pan and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
