Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the molasses while mixing at a slow speed, then the baking soda, salt, and spices.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated. Stir in the flour. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
Shape or scoop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls; a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here.
Roll them in granulated sugar and put them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
