1
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Set aside.
2
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the beaten eggs and molasses until well combined.
3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition, until a smooth dough forms.
4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth and pliable.
5
Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour, or until firm enough to roll out.
6
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease two cookie sheets.
7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters, or use a sharp knife to create your desired shapes.
8
Place the cut-outs on the prepared cookie sheets about 1 inch apart, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden.
9
Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
10
Decorate the cookies with your choice of icing, candies, or edible decorations, and enjoy your festive creations!
