Cream together the butter and sugar using a hand mixer until they have a smooth airy texture - it should take around 3 minutes of beating at medium speed.

Add the molasses and the egg to the mixture and combine until fully incorporated.

Mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and spices, until there is no flour visible in the dough.

Let the dough chill out in the fridge for two hours, covered tightly with plastic wrap.

Preheat the oven to 375 F and divide the dough into 18-20 spoonfuls. Shape them into perfect balls.

Roll each cookie in powdered sugar until they're fully covered. Place the sweet spheres 3 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet and you'll be ready to bake!

Bake the cookies for 10 minutes to create a golden outer shell with an ever-so-slightly gooey center.

Allow your cookies to rest and settle on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then move them to a rack so they can cool down completely.
