Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Pour brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the cream cheese layer.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
For an extra fudgy brownie, do not overbake. Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
