1 lb. butter
1 c. sugar
4 c. flour

Soften butter. Cream butter and sugar; fold in flour 1 cup at a time. Divide dough in fourths. Pat each fourth into a circle (6-7 inches) on a cookie sheet 3/4 inch thick (2 per sheet fit right). Perforate all over with fork, all the way through each patty.

Bake at 300 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar immediately after removing from oven. Cut into wedges when partially cool. Yield 16 large wedge-shaped cookies.
