3 1/2 sticks butter
1 c. sugar
4 c. unsifted regular flour

Cream butter and sugar. Add flour, a little at a time, and mix well. Roll into 2 rolls, thick enough to shape cookie. Leave in refrigerator overnight. Cut into 1/4-inch slices when dough is warm enough to slice. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets.

Bake in 350°F oven until slightly brown. Very good.
