Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses and egg to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined and the dough comes together.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into smooth balls.
Roll each dough ball in the additional 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until fully coated.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will continue to bake as they cool).
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
