Ingredients

For the Brownies

1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Provides moisture and richness; substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free variant.
1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the brownies and contributes to their fudgy texture; brown sugar adds a deeper flavor.
2 large Eggs Binds the ingredients together; use flax eggs for a vegan option.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds depth of flavor; can be omitted for a more straightforward taste.
1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Delivers rich chocolate flavor and color; Dutch-processed cocoa can be a substitute.
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; for a gluten-free option, use almond or coconut flour.
1 pinch Salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors; consider sea salt for a gourmet touch.
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps brownies rise slightly; omit for denser brownies.
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Adds pockets of melty chocolate for extra richness; dark or white chocolate can be swapped in.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth, then stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until glossy.
Sift in 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined.
Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack before cutting into heart shapes with a cookie cutter.
Serve dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with melted chocolate.
