- 1/2 cup (110 g) brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup (85 g) molasses
- 2¼ cups (280 g) flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Next, beat in the egg and molasses. Then, sift in the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and mix together until just combined. Combine dough with your hands. Form a large disc and cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
