Brownies
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
In a large bowl add flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt. Whisk together ingredients until they are fully incorporated.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a hand-held mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
With the mixer off, add in the flour mixture. Turn mixer on low and mix until ingredients are well combined.
Pour brownies into a prepared baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, or until they are just starting to set. (They will not be cooked through.)
After the brownies have baked for 15 minutes, carefully remove them from the oven. Let them cool while preparing the next layers.
Cheesecake
While the brownies are cooling, make cheesecake. In a large bowl, add cream cheese and sugar, beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla and continue to mix until well blended. Set aside.
Cookies
Add butter, brown sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl. With a hand-held mixer, cream ingredients until they are lighter and fluffier. Add in eggs, mixing well after.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Assembly
Drizzle the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer. Carefully spread it over the brownies, making sure to keep it on top of the brownies.
Drop teaspoonsful of cookie dough onto the cheesecake.
Bake 30-35 minutes, or until the cookie is golden brown and the cheesecake is set.
Allow the bars to come to room temperature before transferring them to the refrigerator to chill for 4 hours, up to overnight.
Store the bars, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
