Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl: All-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, fine sea salt, and instant espresso powder. Stir until well combined and fragrant.
  3. Cream the softened butter and packed brown sugar together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate the molasses, large egg, and pure vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until the ingredients are fully blended together.
  5. Combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture gradually. Stir until just combined.
  6. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in granulated sugar.
  7. Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
  8. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. Optional: Drizzle with melted dark chocolate for an extra indulgent touch.
