Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 113g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup 200g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup 60g all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup 30g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup 85g chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan. Use parchment paper. Leave an overhang. This helps lift the brownies.
Melt Butter and Sugar
- Melt the butter in a bowl. Add the granulated sugar. Whisk them together. Mix until well combined.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Crack in the two large eggs. Add the vanilla extract. Whisk again. Mix until light and fluffy.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour. Add cocoa powder. Stir in baking powder. Mix in salt.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet. Mix gently with a spatula. Do not overmix. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
Pour into Pan and Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
Cool and Cut
- Let brownies cool completely. This is very important. Lift them from the pan. Use the parchment paper. Cut out heart shapes. Use your cookie cutters.
Notes
- Do not overbake. This makes them dry.
- Cool completely. Warm brownies fall apart.
- Use good quality chocolate. It makes a difference.
- Add mix-ins. Try nuts or different chips.
- Dust with powdered sugar. It looks pretty.
