Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
• In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg and molasses until well combined.
• Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just mixed.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookie edges are firm but centers are slightly soft.
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
