Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.<br \/>\n2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices in a medium bowl. Whisk the ingredients together.<br \/>\n3. With a mixer, combine the butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. This will take a couple of minutes.<br \/>\n4. Add in the egg and vanilla extra. Mix until well combined.<br \/>\n5. Add in the molasses. Mix until the molasses is combined with the other ingredients.<br \/>\n6. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture. Add in a little at a time until all of the flour is mixed in.<br \/>\n7. Form the dough into Tablespoon sized balls. Roll the dough in white sugar.<br \/>\n8. Place the cookie dough balls on a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. Make sure they are a couple inches apart.<br \/>\n9. Bake for 8 minutes and NO longer. You want them to stay soft! Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a minute or two, then transfer to a cooling rack.<br \/>\n10.
