Instructions

In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. About 2 mintues.
3/4 cup butter, unsalted,
3/4 cup sugar,
1/4 cup brown sugar

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and sea salt.
1 tsp baking soda,
1 1/2 TBS ginger, ground,
1 tsp cinnamon, ground,
1/2 tsp cloves, ground,
1/2 tsp sea salt,
2 1/2 cup flour
Slowly add flour, half at a time to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, but no flour remains.
Using a
1.5 TBS cookie scoop
, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart and sprinkle the tops of the cookies with sugar.
Bake one tray at a time, in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a minute or two prior to transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to three months.
