Ingredients

¾ cup (170g) butter, COLD and cut into pieces
1 cup (210g) packed brown sugar
1 large egg
¼ cup (60ml) unsulphured or dark molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
2⅓ cups (320g) all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking soda
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
1½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground clove
½ teaspoon salt
granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (around 5 minutes). Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla and beat until combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and salt. Mix just until everything is combined. Roll cookie dough into 2 tablespoon size balls. Roll each in sugar then place on a baking sheet 3 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or just until the edges look set. Let cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to allow the cookies to firm up.
