Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, blend melted butter with granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and lemon zest (if using), mixing until well incorporated.
Assemble the Cookie Bites:
- Pour two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of cheesecake filling over the batter and spread gently.
- Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the top and use a knife or skewer to create swirls.
Bake:
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Cut into Bites:
- Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the cookie bites out of the pan.
- Cut into bite-sized squares or rectangles.
Drizzle with Caramel (Optional):
- Warm the caramel sauce slightly and drizzle over the cookie bites for added sweetness.

Notes

Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes before cutting for cleaner edges.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
