4 cups flour
1 cup lard
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter

Mix all ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll dough out and cut with cookie cutters.

Bake at 325°F for about 10 minutes.

Tips: Keep dough chilled that you are not using, dough needs to be firm. Cookies should be "white" not golden brown or brown.
