1-Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly spray an 8×8 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, spraying the paper as well to ensure easy removal.

2-In a medium bowl: combine 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted if lumpy), 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted if lumpy), 1/2 cup large chocolate chips, and 3/4 teaspoon salt.

3-In a large bowl: whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.

4-Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined. The batter will be thick, which is perfect for that fudgy texture.

5-Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula for uniform baking.

6-Bake for 40 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remember, undercooking slightly helps maintain a moist center.

7-Let cool completely, about two hours, before slicing. This step ensures the brownies set properly for the best taste and texture.
