2 eggs
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder

Measure flour, add confectioners' sugar, stir to blend. Blend in butter with fingers, or blender. Pat firmly into greased 8-inch square pan. Bake in slow 300 degree oven for 20 minutes.

TOPPING: Beat eggs and sugar. Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir to blend. Add flavoring, nuts, and coconut. Spread over base. Bake in slow 300 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
