In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, molasses and egg, until fluffy.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves.
Add the dry ingredients to the molasses mixture, and mixed until well combined.
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Using a teaspoon, get a piece of dough and form it into a 1” ball. Put some granulated sugar on a small plate and roll the dough ball around until it is coated.
Place the dough 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Continue with the rest of the dough.
Bake for 9-11 minutes.
