3 c. brown sugar
3 c. (6 sticks) butter (or any combination of the two)
6 c. oatmeal, uncooked
3 c. flour (white, whole wheat, or half & half
1 tbsp. baking soda

There is only one way to mix this and that is to use your hands and any other hands you can enlist. Knead until there aren't any lumps of butter. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten gently with a small fork. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool before removing from cookie sheet. Makes 10-15 dozen cookies.
