1 c. soft butter
1 c. confectioners' sugar
2 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. salt (A sprinkle will do)
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. vinegar

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all in large bowl. Blend on lowest speed or by hand. If dough is too dry to handle easily, work in milk or cream a teaspoon at a time. Roll out to 1/8 inch on lightly floured cloth covered board. Cut into shapes. Bake on ungreased baking sheet 6 to 8 minutes. Cool slightly. Carefully remove from baking sheet. (375 degrees may be hot enough for some ovens. Watch cookies carefully they can burn very easily. Also, I grease my cookie sheets.)
