Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the molasses and mix on medium-high speed until well combined. Add the egg and continue mixing until incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  3. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix until evenly incorporated.
  4. Transfer the dough to an airtight container and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until chilled.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Use an 2 ounce scoop to portion the cookies onto the baking sheet, spacing evenly. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  7. Fill a small bowl with raw sugar, then roll each dough ball in the sugar until completely coated. Return to the baking sheet.
  8. Bake the cookies for 8–10 minutes, until they begin to crack slightly on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 4–5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely..
  9. Enjoy!
