Instructions (3 steps)

01Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream the butter and the sugar. Sift in the flour with the baking soda and add the salt. Mix together the ginger, cloves and cinnamon and set aside. Beat the egg, vinegar, spice mixture, molasses and flour into the creamed butter.
02Using your hands, shape the dough into balls one inch in diameter. Place them an inch apart on a baking sheet. Slightly flatten the balls with the wet prongs of a fork. Press again, with the prongs at right angles to the mark already made on the cookies, making a crosshatch pattern. The cookies should be about one-half inch high. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
