Preheat oven to 325F. Cream butter with sugar. Beat in eggs, molasses
and vinegar. Sift together and add flour, baking soda, ginger, cnnamon and
cloves. Mix until blended. Form dough into 3/4-inch balls.
Bake on a greased cookie sheet for about 12 minutes. As the ball melts
down the characteristic crinkled surface. Makes about 10 dozen 2-inch
cookies.
I've made these once. They were very good. I used 2-1/2 teaspoons
ginger without problem; next time I'll use 3 tsps. The cookies were a bit
chewy in the middle. -- AE
