      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
