--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     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.
