We got this recipe from a special neighbor who was like a grandmother to me. Chill them and slice them very thin before baking.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):

- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
PREPARATION:
Cream the margarine and the sugars together. Add the eggs and mix well.
Stir in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and chopped nuts. Shape dough into 2 inch to 2 1/2 inch diameter sized logs. Wrap logs and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
Slice logs very thing and place cookies on the prepared sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes.
