Chocolate Chip Coconut Bars

Athough I have not made them in a long time, these used to be my favorite bar cookies--even more than brownies! They are very soft, and they are way better without nuts.

1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. granulated sugar
1/3 c. packed brown sugar
2 T. water
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1 c. flour
1 1/4 t. baking powder
1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 c. coconut
6 oz. chocolate chips

Melt butter in a saucepan and remove from heat. Add sugars and blend. Add water, egg, and vanilla. Beat well. Stir in flour and baking powder. When well-blended, add remaining ingredients. Stir lightly to combine. Pour into greased 9" pan and bake at 350° for about 30 minutes. Cool into pan and cut into bars. Or, eat warm--they're really yummy that way. =)
