If a brownie and a cheesecake had a baby, it’d be these cream-cheese-stuffed brownie cookies. A combination of melted chocolate and Dutch-process cocoa powder gives the cookie dough a deeply fudgy texture. Bite in to reveal a soft core of sweetened cream cheese filling. Err on the side of underbaking the cookies. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool.

This recipe makes two lovably large single-serve cookies—one for you and one for a friend (or two just for you). Best of all, they need only two bowls and a rubber spatula to make and are ready in 25 minutes, start to finish. Perfect for a quick weeknight dessert or anytime you want something sweet.
