Grease bottom of 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. You will cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Next you will beat in eggs and the vanilla extract into the sugar butter mix. Now you will combine the sifted flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt gradually while stirring, and then add to butter mixture, and mix until well blended, and then you will fold in the walnuts. Now you will spread the batter into a pan that has been sprayed with a non stick spray or buttered pan. Now you will bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or just until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. You will cool them completely in the pan while setting on a wire rack. If you do not have a wire rack it is okay. A wire rack just lets the air circulate underneath the pan to help it cool faster. You can make do with a couple of trivets if you need to.
