--------  ------------  -------------------------------- 
   1      pound         butter (no substitutes) -- softened 
   1      cup           packed brown sugar 
   4      cups          all-purpose flour -- -4 1/2 cups 
 
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Add 3-3/4 cups flour;
mix well. Sprinkle a board with some of the remaining four. Knead for 5
minutes, adding enough remaining flour to make a soft, non-sticky dough.
Roll to 1/2" thickness. Cut into 3"x1" strips. Place 1" apart on ungreased
baking sheets. Prick with a fork. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes or
until cookies are lightly browned. Yield about 4 dozen
