3 c. brown sugar
2 1/2-3 c. butter (or part each)
6 c. oatmeal
1 tbsp. baking soda
3 c. flour

Put all this in a huge bowl, and mash, knead, squeeze, (the more the better). Then form it into small balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Butter the bottom of a small glass, dip it in granulated sugar and mash balls flat. The glass may need to be rebuttered once or twice. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
