1 large egg |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground mace |

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Beat 2/3 cup sugar and margarine at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add molasses and egg; beat well.
3. Combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and mace; gradually add to sugar mixture. Stir until well-blended. Divide in half. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap; freeze for 30 minutes.
