Instructions
Cream butter; add sugar gradually. Beat in egg, molasses and vinegar. Blend in sifted dry ingredients. Chill. Roll 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick on floured surface. Cut into desired shapes. Place on greased cookie sheets; decorate before baking, or frost when cool with frosting. Bake at 375°F 5 to 15 minutes, depending on size and thickness of cookie.
Frosting:
Beat egg whites until they hold a soft peak. Add sugar gradually, and beat until sugar is dissolved, and frosting stands in peaks. Add syrup, and beat 1 minute. Divide frosting into small portions. Color each amount as desired with food colors. Add a few drops of water if thinner frosting is needed. Keep well covered when not in use.
