1 stick softened butter
1 lb. brown sugar
3 eggs
2 c. self-rising flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts (almonds)
1 (3 oz.) pkg. coconut (1 can)

Optional: You can add chopped dates, chips, etc.

Mix all ingredients in a greased and floured 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. (Golden brown and dry on top but still chewy.) Yum yum! Enjoy! Bake in pan larger than 9 x 13 inch and you will have Chewy Bars!
