      2 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Ground cloves
      1 ts Ground ginger
      1 ts Ground cinnamon

  of an electric mixer on high speed until light, 1 minute. Add the egg
  and molasses;  mix well. Stop the mixer and add the flour mixture.
  Mix just until combined.
  
    3. Using about 1 1/2 teaspoons dough for each, roll dough into
  balls. Roll  in the remaining  1/2 cup granulated sugar so they are
  fully coated. Arrange  on baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  If you prefer a thin, crisp  cookie, they may be flattened with a
  glass that has been dipped in sugar.
  
    4. Bake until set, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let
  cool.
