Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Heart Shaped Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while preparing your workspace. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Cut 1 cup of unsalted butter into pieces and melt over low to medium heat until fully liquefied. Let it cool for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ½ cup light brown sugar into the warm melted butter until smooth. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  4. Crack in 4 large eggs, one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition. Whisk for 30-45 seconds after the last egg.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of baking powder.
  6. Gently fold half of the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, then add the remaining dry mixture and fold until no streaks of flour remain. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 22-28 minutes.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1-1.5 hours. Chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes for cleaner cuts.
  9. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies onto a cutting board. Cut out heart shapes using a heart-shaped cutter.
  10. Dust the heart-shaped brownies with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
  11. Arrange the heart brownies on a serving plate and garnish with fresh berries. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
