• ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ cup chocolate chips

Cream Cheese Mixture:

• 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg white

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with foil and grease it well.
2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot melted butter and granulated sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
   • Whisk in the eggs, water, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
   • In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and kosher salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
   • Fold in the chocolate chips.
   • Reserve one-third of the brownie batter and set it aside.
3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
   • In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the egg white and pure vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
4. Assemble the Brownies:
   • Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
   • Drop alternating spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture and the reserved brownie batter over the base layer.
   • Use a knife to gently swirl the cream cheese and brownie batters together, creating a marbled effect.
5. Bake:
   • Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 32-37 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
   • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
