Just as delicious if you substitute all purpose flour for part or all of the whole-wheat flour.

• 1-1/2 cups butter, margarine or shortening
• 3 cups packed brown sugar
• 3 eggs, beaten, or equivalent
• 5 cups whole-wheat flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired

In a large bowl, cream together butter, margarine or shortening and brown sugar.  Beat in eggs until mixture is fluffy.  In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda.  Gradually stir into creamed mixture.  Stir in chopped nuts, if desired.  Shape dough into a roll about 13 inches long.  Wrap in waxed paper or foil.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours.  Preheat oven to 425F (220C).  Cut refrigerated dough into 1/4 inch slices.  Arrange on ungreased baking sheets.  Bake 8 minutes or until firm.  Use a metal spatula to remove baked cookies frm baking sheet.  Cool on racks.  Makes about 100 cookies.
