 Directions

Thoroughly cream shortening, sugar and salt. Stir in egg, molasses and
vinegar. Beat well.
Sift dry ingredients; stir into molasses mixture. Chill about 2 hrs. On
lightly floured surface roll to 1/8" thickness. Cut with cookie cutter.
Place 1" apart on greased cookie sheet. Make eyes and buttons with
raisins. Bake in moderate (375 deg.) oven for about 6 minutes. Cool
slightly and remove from sheet. Allow to finish cooling on wire racks.

baking time by a minute or so.
