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

Put all ingredients in a huge bowl and mash, knead and squeeze with your hands. Knead until there are no lumps. The more you beat and squeeze the better the cookie. Roll into small balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet. Butter the bottom of small glass. Dip it in granulated sugar and mash the balls flat. (You need butter the glass bottom only once or twice but re-dip it in sugar for each ball.) Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 15 dozen.
