1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
Add butter to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Cream until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add in brown sugar and cream for another 2 minutes until combined.
3
Add in egg and molasses, mix to combine. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl throughout.
4
Combine flour, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two parts. Do not over-mix the batter. Cover and place batter in the refrigerator for an hour to keep the cookies from spreading in the oven.
5
Shape into 1-tablespoon-sized cookies and roll each cookie in regular sugar. Place cookies on a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Using a fork gently press down on the cookie to make a criss-cross pattern.
6
Place in the oven and cook for 11-12 minutes until set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
7
Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top and serve!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
