Add the flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
Whisk to blend them together.
Set aside.
In a second bowl whisk the brown sugar, melted butter, molasses until combined
Add in the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla into the brown sugar mixture whisking completely until combined.
Slowly add 1 cup of the flour mixture at a time in the other bowl of mixed ingredients stirring with a rubber spatula just until the dough comes together.
Using a small ice cream scooper, scoop out 12 rounds of dough onto 1 cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 11-13 minutes
Allow to cool completely on the counter while you make the frosting
