Waynetta's Macaroon Brownies

I received this recipe this past week from my friend, Waynetta. We had a birthday party for Daniel and Kay this weekend and I decided to make them for the b-day party dessert. They are so rich and so yummy!

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 Eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans)

Macaroon Filling
1 (14 oz. pkg.) flaked coconut
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla

Frosting
6 tbsp. butter
2 & 2/3 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 to 1/2 cup sour cream

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, cocoa, and cream of tartar; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in nuts. Spread 1/2 into a greased 13x9 in. baking pan. Combine coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla; carefully spread over chocolate layer. Top with remaining chocolate mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. For frosting, cream butter, and sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix until smooth. Add more sour cream if needed.
