Cream Cheese Brownies

0 Pre-heat oven to 320 F and line the bottom and sides of a 13x9 baking pan with parchment paper
1 Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract, until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat. Add flour and mix until just incorporated. Pour the mixture into a separate pan and set aside
2 For the brownie layer, mix the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a separate bowl and set aside
3 Over the same mixing bowl where you did the cream cheese mixture -no need to clean it!- beat butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in the dry ingredients until just incorporated, do not over beat!
4 Save 3 Tablespoons of brownie mixture and pour the rest into the prepared baking pan. Add random dollops of cream cheese mixture on top, then swirl with a knife. Add the remaining chocolate brownie mixture wherever you have more cream cheese mixture for a prettier marble.
5 Bake for 40 minutes, then place a piece of foil a bit larger than the pan on top; no need to seal it completely. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few crumbs, but not wet.
6 Let cool completely, then cut into 24 pieces and enjoy!
