Instructions
Chocolate Chip Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then spray a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan with pan spray and line it with parchment paper if desired. Set aside.
- Add ¾ cup brown sugar, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup unsalted butter, and ½ cup shortening to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl before adding 2 large eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and beat until fully combined.
- Add 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and mix on medium speed, just until all the flour mixture is fully absorbed into the dough.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand.
Cheesecake Filling
- Add the room-temperature 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, and ⅓ cup granulated sugar to a large bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt and mix until fully combined.
Assembly and Baking
- Add ⅔ of the brownie dough to the bottom of the prepared pan and use your fingers to press it evenly into the pan.
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the top of the brownie layer.
- Crumble the remaining ⅓ of brownie dough evenly over the top of the cheesecake filling.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out nearly clean from the center.
- Let the brownies cool completely before removing from the pan and cutting.
