Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixer, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add molasses and egg; mix until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, spices, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add to wet ingredients until just mixed.
