Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon of salt
3/4 cup of unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup of brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup of molasses

Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Pre-measuring them will streamline the baking process and ensure you don’t overlook anything important!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is a crucial step that activates the baking soda in the dough, ensuring your cookies rise beautifully as they bake.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices: cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. This ensures even distribution of flavors. Set it aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the egg and molasses to the butter mixture, mixing well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
