Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature Helps with texture.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adds classic sweetness and structure.
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature Helps with texture and an even bake.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For warmth and familiar flavor.
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Gives the deep chocolate note.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour A simple base that keeps the brownies tender.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt To balance sweetness and bring out chocolate.
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder A small lift for a soft crumb.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, optional They add little pockets of melted chocolate.

Tools

  • 1 heart-shaped cookie cutter For the slow, kind act of turning squares into hearts.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan lightly to release air bubbles.

Baking

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  • Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart-shaped brownies.

Serving

  • Serve and enjoy! Arrange the hearts on a simple plate, maybe with a dusting of cocoa or a small spoon of whipped cream.

Notes

Store any leftovers in a shallow, covered tin with parchment between layers to keep them from sticking. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container.
