Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the molasses and egg until the mixture is perfectly combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Form small balls of dough and roll each one in granulated sugar for a delightful sweet coating.
- Place the sugar-coated balls onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, ensuring you leave enough space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the edges appear nicely set, and the tops are slightly cracked.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
