Ingredients
¾ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (170g)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed, can substitute light brown sugar (100g)
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses it should say unsulphered on the label, I used "Grandma's" brand) (60ml)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (280g)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions
00:00 Introduction

00:09 Combine butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer (or you may use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer).

00:36 Add egg, stir until combined.

00:42 Add molasses and vanilla extract, stir well until ingredients are combined.

01:02 In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.

01:37 Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until completely combined.

02:00 Cover dough with clear wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

02:08 Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Roll dough into heaping Tablespoon-sized balls and roll in sugar to coat completely.

02:41 Place at least 2" apart on prepared cookie sheet and bake on 375F (190C) for 10-11 minutes.
The cookies should look baked but have slightly under-done centers. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet to finish cooking -- this will make them very soft.
