Disappearing Bars

These have been a family favorite since I was a little kid.  They are basically a brown sugar brownie.   They are very simple, but SO chewy and delicious!

2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup nuts (optional, I never use them...)

The directions say melt together sugar and butter and then cool them.  I don't know if this is important and why, I would love to know... 
I usually skip the melting together and just melt the butter before mixing or even just cream the butter and sugar without melting.  I don't notice much difference except possibly that the batter is a little thicker and harder to spread out.  Beat in eggs and vanilla and then add the rest of the ingredients.  Spread as evenly as you can into a 9 by 13 pan and bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
