3 c. brown sugar
3 c. butter (or 1/2 c. each)
6 c. oatmeal
1 tbsp. baking soda
3 c. flour
Cinnamon to taste (optional)

Put all ingredients in a huge bowl and mix well. Form into small balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Butter the bottom of a small glass, dip it in granulated sugar and press the balls flat. You only need to butter the glass a few times, but re-dip it in the sugar for each ball. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Makes 15 dozen. Recipe may be reduced to make fewer cookies.
