c. sugar
1 c. dark corn syrup
1 c. butter
1 tbsp. vinegar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp. ground black pepper
2 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
5 c. sifted flour

Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter and vinegar in small pan and bring almost to a boil. Cool to room temperature, then stir in eggs. Sift together remaining ingredients and stir into butter mixture blending well. Chill overnight. Divide dough into 8 or 9 portions and roll each out very thin on floured board. Cut into diamond (or any other) shapes and bake on greased baking sheet in 350 degree oven for 7 or 8 minutes. Makes about 225 - 3 inch cookies. Store in loosely covered jar in dry place so cookies will remain crisp. They will keep for a long time.
