Steps

25 Minutes

1

In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2

Add the molasses and the egg and mix well.
3

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves until well combined.
4

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix well.
5

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll the cookie dough into 1.5 tablespoon sized balls (use a cookie scoop if you like), roll them in granulated sugar, and place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set.
6

Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for one week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
