Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Tools

  • Heart-shaped cookie cutter
  • 8-inch square baking pan
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure the brownies do not stick.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely. Stir in granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the brownies.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout for patches of melted chocolate.
  5. Spread Batter: Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top to create an even surface for baking.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center: it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  7. Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. This ensures they set properly for clean cutting.
  8. Cut Heart Shapes: Once cooled, use the heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the brownies into charming heart shapes, perfect for serving.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the heart-shaped brownies on a platter and serve to delight your guests or enjoy as a sweet personal treat.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, slightly underbake and ensure not to overmix the batter.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with nuts or left out for a simpler brownie.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture.
  • Make sure brownies are completely cooled before cutting to prevent crumbling.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
