Preheat oven to 350-degrees and grease a 9" x 13" baking dish.

Brownies

Sift the flour, cocoa, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl, add the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract and mix well.

Next, add the eggs, one-at-a-time, and mix well.

Pour the flour mixture into the bowl and mix well.

Add the chocolate chips and one teaspoon of flour to a small bowl and toss to coat.

Now, add the chocolate chips to the batter and mix well.

Pour half of the brownie mixture into the baking dish and spread out evenly.

Cream Cheese Layer

In another medium-sized bowl, add the softened cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg, and mix well.

Spread over the brownies.

Pour the remaining brownie dough over the cream cheese mixture and spread out. Run a knife through the batter to create a swirl.

Bake for 35 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
