Instructions

Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt together in a bowl.
Beat brown sugar and butter in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in molasses, egg, and candied ginger. Gradually mix in dry ingredients until combined. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
Roll chilled dough into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch balls. Dip balls in white sugar to coat and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
