Instructions

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and clove, then set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the butter, both sugars, molasses and egg. Whisk to combine.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet, and use a rubber spatula to mix until combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350℉ (or 180℃).
Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Use a small scoop (about 1 to 2 tablespoons) to measure cookie dough and then roll into balls. Roll in sugar and bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 12-14 minutes.
Let cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack and repeating with remaining dough.
