3 c. brown sugar
6 c. oatmeal
3 c. flour
3 c. butter
1 tbsp. baking soda

Put all of this in a large bowl and mash, knead, squeeze and beat it until you have worked out all your frustrations. The more you beat this mixture, the better it is. Then form it into small balls on an ungreased cookie sheet (I prefer aluminum foil). Butter the bottom of a small glass, dip it in granulated sugar and mash the balls flat. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
