Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Add butter and sugar to a large bowl and cream using a stand mixer until light and creamy.
Add in the egg and molasses and beat to combine.
In another large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Roll the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for one hour.
Add turbinado sugar to a small bowl. Measure and roll the dough into a ball using a one-tablespoon cookie scoop. Roll each ball in turbinado sugar to coat and place on the cookie sheet, leaving about 3" space between each ball.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Let the cookies sit for an additional 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Store in an airtight container.
