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

Because this is a large recipe it is easier made in two batches then baked in one 13 x 17 jelly roll pan, or two 9 x 12 pans.

With steel blade, process half the butter until creamy. Add half a cup of sugar, process until blended. Add 2 cups flour and process with a quick on/off then add half cup flour and process until blended. Turn onto baking sheet. Repeat with second batch using same amounts. Add to first batch and press with hands onto baking sheet until smooth.

Decorate edges with fork. Sprinkle remaining half cup sugar evenly over top. Prick with fork every 2 inches or so. Bake in middle of 300 degree oven 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately cut into squares or slices, any shape desired, but cut while still hot.
