1

Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, stir sugar, 1/4 teaspoon each of the cinnamon, ginger and cloves until well mixed. Set aside.
2

In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in flour, molasses, remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of the ginger and cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon cloves until well mixed. Shape dough into 20 (1 1/2- inch) balls; roll each ball in sugar and spice mixture. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are set (cookies will be soft in the center). Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Expert Tips

Rolling cookie dough in a sugar-spice mixture boosts the flavors and adds sparkle to these cookies.
For best results, bake cookies one sheet at a time on the center oven rack.
Store spices in airtight containers away from heat to maintain freshness.
Store cookies in an airtight container in single layers between parchment or waxed paper in refrigerator up to 1 week. Cookies can be frozen up to 2 months. To thaw, let stand uncovered at room temperature 1 to 2 hours.
