Method
 

How to Make Heart Shaped Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch metal pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave a 2-inch overhang.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk together with granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and neutral oil until glossy and smooth.
  3. Add the large eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and espresso powder if using.
  4. Whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and kosher salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined.
  6. Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips and pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 24–28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for 20–30 minutes, then lift out using the parchment overhang.
  9. Chill in the fridge for an additional 15–20 minutes for easier cutting.
  10. Cut into heart shapes using cookie cutters and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.
