How to make it
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
- Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand or handheld mixer, cream the softened butter for about 1 minute on medium speed.
- Add the brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla.
- Beat well, scraping down the sides as needed again.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet on low speed.
- Do not over mix.
- Cover mixed dough with foil and chill for 2 hours or up to 3-4 days.
- I chilled mine overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in granulated sugar.
- Place balls 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just turning brown – cookies will be puffy and still appear soft in the middle.
- Remove from the oven and, if using any variety of flavor chip, immediately press 5-7 chips into the center of each cookie.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for two minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
