Brownies with Cream Cheese Swirl

These brownies are my favorites!

1 recipe Shortbread Butter Cookies
1/2 cup (4 ounces--1/2 of an 8-ounce package) cream cheese
1/4 cup rice syrup
1 egg
1 tablespoon flour

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Make the Brownie recipe and spread the batter into a greased 8x8-inch baking pan.
3. In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, rice syrup, egg, and flour until smooth.
4. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter. Swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter to make a nice pattern.
5. Bake for 30 minutes.
6. Cool in the pan and cut into squares
