Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer or a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the egg. Add the molasses and beat until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat until combined.
  • Shape the dough into balls, containing about 1 tablespoon of dough each. Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, or until edges are set and tops are cracking.
  • Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
