--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3/4   c            Shortening
  1       c            White sugar
  2       ts           White vinegar
    1/2   c            Molasses
  1       t            Salt
  1       t            Cinnamon
  2       ts           Ginger
    1/2   ts           Nutmeg
  2       c            White flour

 Beat shortening till fluffy.  Add sugar & continue to
 beat until well combined.  Add the rest of the
 ingredients in order, beating well after each
 addition.  When the ingredients are well mixed, wrap
 the mixture in waxed paper & refrigerate for 1 hour to
 make the dough easier to handle.
 On a floured board, roll out the dough until it is
 about an 1/8 inch thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut
 into cookies & place on a cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10
 minutes at 275F.  Cool for a couple of minutes on the
 sheet & then remove to a wire rack to cool.
