Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 0.33 cup granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the egg to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Fill each cupcake liner about one-third full with the chocolate batter.
Add a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the chocolate batter in each liner.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and slightly golden.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these luscious Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cupcakes!
