Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, 3 of the eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly stir in the melted chocolate mixture, followed by the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour 3/4 of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, the remaining egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
Gently fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies into the cream cheese mixture.
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan, then pour the remaining brownie batter on top.
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the brownie and cream cheese mixtures together to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
