Make something good.

  1. 01

    Beat margarine and brown sugar until fluffy in large bowl; mix in molasses and egg. Mix in combined flour, baking soda, spices, dry mustard, and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, 2 to 3 hours.

  2. 02

    Measure granulated sugar into pie pan or shallow bowl. Drop dough by tsp fulls into sugar and roll into balls (dough will be sticky). Place cookies on greased cookie sheets; flatten with fork or bottom of glass. Bake at 350 until firm to touch, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
