Old-Fashioned Aggression Cookies (Kid-Friendly & Freezer-Ready)

In a very large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, oats, flour, baking soda, and chopped nuts if using.
Use your hands to mash, knead, and squeeze the mixture until everything is fully incorporated. This process can take several minutes. (Be sure to remove rings or jewelry beforehand!)
Once the dough is uniform, form into small balls about the size of a medium marble (roughly 1 inch).
Place balls onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart—they will spread slightly during baking.

Butter the bottom of a flat-bottomed glass.
Dip the glass into a bowl of cinnamon sugar (optional but tasty!) and gently press each dough ball until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat for each cookie—re-dip in the sugar as needed, but you only need to butter the glass once.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Let cookies cool on the pan for 1–2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
