Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

1-2 hrs
ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
directions
Mix flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, mustard, pepper, cardamom, cloves, and salt.
In a large bowl with a mixer on high speed, beat 3/4 cup butter with brown sugar until well blended. Add egg and molasses and beat until fluffy.
Add flour mixture. Beat on low speed to blend, then on medium speed until well mixed.
Divide dough in half, shape each half into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and pat into a flat cake. Freeze for about 20 minutes, or chill for 1 to 2 hours until firm.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll to coat with granulated sugar and set at least 2 inches apart on buttered baking sheets.
Bake cookies in a 350 degrees F oven until slightly darker brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes (If using 1 oven, switch pan positions after 5 minutes).
Cool on pan about 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to racks to cool. Serve, or store airtight.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
