Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

6. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
7. Add in the remaining 2 eggs and mix until well combined.
8. Fold in the chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.
9. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan, spreading it evenly.
10. Drop small spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter onto the cream cheese mixture.
11. Using a knife or spatula, gently swirl the brownie batter and cream cheese mixture to create a marbled effect.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
13. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
14. Serve and enjoy these luscious chocolate chip cheesecake brownies!
