Ingredients:  
4½ cups (540 g) all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 Tbls ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp salt
1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softned to room temp
1 cup granulated white sugar (plus extra for rolling the dough in)
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
Directions:
Directions:
1) In a medium bowl, whisk together: flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
2) In a separate mixing bowl: cream the softened butter and both sugars (medium-high speed) until the mixture is light and fluffy and pale yellow (about 2 minutes), scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in 1 egg at a time and molasses and beat on medium-low speed until both eggs are combined. Gradually add in the dry mixture until evenly incorporated.
3) Transfer the dough to an air-tight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until completely chilled.
4) Preheat the oven to 350º. Add some white sugar to a small bowl. Roll the dough into 1" balls. Roll in the sugar until completely coated. Place dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5) Bake for 8-10 min, until slight cracks appear on top (they will crack more while cooling). Let cool on the baking sheet for 4-5 min, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
6) Store in an air-tight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Personal Notes:
I discovered these when we lived in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. I took a lot of classes at a local quilt shop (Quilter's Cupboard) and we always paused early afternoon to have some tea and a sweet treat. These were one of my favorites that were served! My daughter Emily loves them too!
