Sift 2.5 cups of flour using a strainer or sifter to aerate and remove lumps.

Measure out 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and set aside.

Measure 1/2 cup of molasses and set aside.

In a bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Cut 3/4 cup of unsalted butter into pieces and let it come to room temperature (70-75°F).

Once the butter is soft, cream it in a mixer until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Add the granulated sugar gradually while mixing at medium speed for about 30 seconds.

Crack 1 egg into a dish and add it to the butter and sugar mixture along with the molasses, mixing until combined.

Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
