2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ginger, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter for about 30 seconds until creamy and smooth.

4. Add Sugar: Gradually add in 1 cup of sugar to the creamed butter, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

5. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and molasses until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.

6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Use a wooden spoon to stir in the remaining flour mixture until a soft dough forms.

7. Shape Dough: Shape the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands. Roll each ball in the 2 tablespoons of sugar until coated evenly.

8. Place on Baking Sheets: Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

9. Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned and puffed.

10. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

11. Serve: Once completely cooled, serve and enjoy these soft and delightful ginger cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
