Decadent Choco-Cheesecake Cookie Bites, combining rich chocolate brownies and creamy cheesecake in one bite-sized treat. A perfect fusion of flavors!

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

½ cup cream cheese, softened

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, blend the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix in the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and lemon zest (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Cookie Bites: Pour about 2/3 of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of cheesecake filling over the brownie layer, then drizzle or dollop the remaining brownie batter over the top. Use a knife to swirl the layers together.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Cut into Bites: Once fully cooled, lift the baked mixture from the pan using the parchment paper, place it on a cutting board, and cut into small bite-sized squares or rectangles.

Notes

For added texture, try folding in chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or mini marshmallows.

Experiment with different cheesecake flavors by adding vanilla extract or fruit purees like raspberry or strawberry.

For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
