CREAM CHEESE BROWNIES
These are my mom's creation--kind of. The brownies are Marcia Adams's "Very Best Brownies" from her Heartland cookbook. The cream cheese filling is my mom's concoction. I like that the cream cheese layer doesn't overwhelm the brownies.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine butter, sugar, and cocoa in large mixing bowl.
- Add eggs, one at a time. Blend after each addition.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix until just combined.
- In another bowl, combine ingredients for cream cheese layer. Mix until smooth.
- In 9 x 13 greased baking dish, pour half of brownie batter. Smooth to even.
- Spoon the cream cheese layer into the baking dish. This shouldn't be an easily spreadable layer--we just dollop and try to smooth it out for a more even distribution.
- Use butter knife to slightly marble into bottom layer.
- Top with remaining brownie mixture. Spread as evenly as you can, then tap pan lightly on counter to level batter.
- Bake 20-25 minutes (some ovens require a full 30 to completely bake), until the top is firm to the touch. Baking too long will result in dry brownies.
- Allow to stand 15 minutes before cutting.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with butter. Line bottom and two sides with a strip of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two sides. Butter paper, and set pan aside. In a small bowl, whisk 1 cup flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- Place 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter and chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes; remove bowl from pan. Add 1 1/4 cups sugar; mix to combine. Add 3 eggs, and mix to combine. Add flour and cocoa mixture; mix just until moistened (do not overmix).
- Prepare cream-cheese mixture: Whisk cream cheese with 2 tablespoons room-temperature butter. Whisk in 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Alternately spoon chocolate batter and cream-cheese mixture into pan; with the tip of a paring knife, swirl to marble.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan for 30 minutes. Using paper overhang, lift brownies out of pan; transfer to a rack to cool completely (still on paper). On a cutting board, using a dampened serrated knife, cut into 16 squares.
Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your brownies. Use high-quality cream cheese, butter, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender brownie.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will toughen the brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will dry them out.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
