Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of salt.

In another bowl, cream together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy. Mix in molasses and egg until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until puffy but slightly soft in the center. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
