Preheat the oven to 350 F. Whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Set aside. Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and molasses and mix until combined. With speed on low, gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Form dough into small balls, about 1 teasspoon per ball. Bake at 350 F for 12 minutes. Cool cookies for 5 minutes on cookiesheets before transferring to a cooling rack. (The 12 minute baking time results in a slightly chewy cookie. For a crispier cookie, bake 2 minutes longer)
