  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together on medium speed until pale yellow. Add egg and molasses and mix. 
  3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.  On low speed, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.  Scrape down the edges of the bowl and mix on low speed again until everything is combined well.
