This is Sharleen’s, Punahou LXV (fellow 1965 graduate), version of the above recipe! 

1 cup butter

3 ½ cups brown sugar

1 1/4 TSP. Vanilla

2 cups flour

1 ½ TSP. Baking powder

3 large eggs

3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Melt butter in a small saucepan to the boiling point.  Pour into a mixing bowl, add sugar and blend.  While warm, add eggs and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients and nuts.  Pour into a (greased) cookie pan (a Baker’s Secret 17 1/4" X 11 ½ “ X 1" works well).
