Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to bring some added depth to the flavor.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if you’re feelin’ nutty! Make sure all the ingredients are well incorporated but don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Pop it into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cool, slice it up into heart shapes – or squares, if that’s your vibe!
There you have it! Muddy Hearts are ready to be enjoyed. Whether you’re sharing them with friends or indulging by yourself, these treats are sure to make your heart happy. So whip up a batch, kick back, and savor every bite. Happy baking, y’all!
