Ingredients

Scale

Main 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 (or gluten-free baking mix for gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Measure and gather all ingredients. Line a square baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix with Sugar: Gently melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove. Whisk in the granulated sugar until smooth, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Add Eggs: Beat the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, ensuring the batter stays smooth and glossy for the perfect fudgy texture.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until no flour streaks remain to avoid cakey brownies.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): Gently fold in chocolate chips for extra gooey bites throughout the brownies.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  7. Cool and Cut into Heart Shapes: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut individual brownies for a charming presentation.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to achieve a smooth batter and better texture.
  • Do not overbake; remove brownies when slightly underbaked for a fudgy consistency.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper to easily remove the brownie slab without breaking.
  • Cool brownies completely before cutting to avoid crumbling.
  • Use quality unsweetened cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor.
  • Dip the cookie cutter in hot water and dry before each cut to prevent sticking, or lightly grease it.
