Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the molasses.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Place extra granulated sugar in a small shallow dish. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat.

Arrange the sugar-coated balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly browned, but the centers still look soft. The cookies will puff up and then flatten slightly as they cool.
