Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º.

Beat 2/3 cup sugar and margarine at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add molasses and egg; beat well.

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.

Shape each portion of dough into 26 (1-inch) balls; roll in 3 tablespoons sugar. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350º for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from sheets; let cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.
