Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Mix in the molasses and egg until fully combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar before placing them on the baking sheet.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
