Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375º F.

In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom and salt.

In a mixer, cream together the butter and white sugar for 3-4 minutes, then add in molasses, egg and brown sugar. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat until just combined.

Add in 1/3 cup of dry ingredients at a time to the butter/egg/sugar mixture, until completely incorporated.

Place more white sugar in a separate medium bowl and begin forming cookie balls. Roll each ball in sugar so that it is evenly coated, then place on baking tray. Leave 2 inches between cookies.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating halfway through, until cookies look cracked and just set around the edges. Centers should still be semi-soft. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
