Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Mix just until combined to avoid over-mixing the dough.

Place 1/2 cup of sugar into a small bowl. Roll dough into small balls and roll into sugar, coating well.

Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake these cookies as they are meant to be soft
