Instructions

Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a separate bowl.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually until a dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
