3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 (14 oz.) bag sweetened coconut flakes (I use Baker's)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

Blend melted butter, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add eggs, beat well with a spoon.

Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add sweetened coconut flakes. Mix all ingredients together well. Spread into prepared pan.

Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Cut into squares.

Makes about 16 squares.
