Sift together flour, soda, salt, and set aside. Cream butter, beat in brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Continue beating until light and fluffy.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Place on rack to cool. Then frost.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
If you don't flatten, they scorch on the bottom and do not cook through. Also, by flattening them, you have a large, thin cookie that you can frost and write on. This recipe is from the 60s when the buttons said "peace," "love," and "rock and roll."
