In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in egg and molasses.

Combine the flour, spices, and baking soda.

Gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.

Use a tablespoon as a scoop and roll portion into a ball, then roll in sugar.

Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets (I used my silpat mat)

Bake at 350°F for 10-13 minutes or until puffy and lightly browned.

Let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes then gently move to wire racks to finish cooling.
