1 lb. butter
1 c. sugar
6 c. flour

Cream butter. Add sugar gradually, and cream well. Add 1/2 cup flour at a time. (Electric mixer can be used until the fourth cup.) Mix last 2 cups by hand. Roll dough to 1/2 inch thick in a cookie pan with sides.

Bake 1 hour at 300 degrees. To keep from browning too much place foil on top last 15 to 20 minutes. Remove. Sprinkle top with sugar and cut into 2 x 1 inch pieces while still hot.
