brownies

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup nuts or coconut

3 tbsp cocoa

3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine butter and sugar. Beat in egg, then rest of ingredients. Pour in pan and bake in 350° F oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and ice with chocolate icing. A few drops of peppermint flavoring in the icing are an improvement.
