Preheat the oven to 325°F(165C°). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Melt the butter halfway over medium heat. Take the butter from the heat and stir. This way the butter cools quickly. Pour the melted butter in a large bowl and set aside to cool.
Mix the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda and baking powder in a medium bowl. Set aside the bowl.
Pour the sugar over melted butter and stir with a whisk until combined.
Add the egg and whisk until combined. Add the molasses and mix until combined.
Mix in the flour in 2-3 batches. The dough will not be too sticky, it will be easy to work with. Roll the dough into 40 grams(2 tablespoons) balls. It makes 17 cookies. If you are not working in a very hot environment there is no need to chill the dough.*** If you want, you can make a little bit smaller balls, 35 grams and make 20 cookies. Place the balls onto the baking sheet, leave enough space-almost 2 inches (5cm)-between the balls.
Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the cookies are just slightly set. The cookies will be too soft to handle. Remove the cookies from the oven. Wait for almost 1-2 minutes to let the puffiness go away a little bit. Using a spoon, press the cookies to give their shape. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes or until the cookies are firm enough. Keep in an airtight container to keep their softness.
