Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup molasses

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Measure out 1 cup of sugar. Separate 3 tablespoons out of the cup and place in a smaller bowl for rolling.

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, cream the butter and the larger amount of sugar together on high until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Scrape the bowl with a spatula, then beat in the molasses and egg. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add in the dry mixture. Scrape the bowl and bet until smooth.
- Roll the dough into 1 tablespoon balls. Roll each ball in sugar and place on baking sheets two inches apart. Bake for 9-10 minutes.
