Vegan Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies

0 In a large bowl, add the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon ,cloves, and nutmeg. Whisk to combine.
1 In the bowl of your stand up mixer (I use a KitchenAid), add the vegan butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with the paddle attachment for 1-2 minutes until creamy and well combined.
2 Add the molasses, milk, and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
3 Slowly and gradually add the dry ingredients into the bowl and beat on low until everything is combined. Cover and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight. This helps with the flavor and makes it easier to work with the dough. 
4 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Fill a small bowl with organic cane sugar.
5 Roll the dough into 1-inch balls (about 1.5 tablespoons) and roll each ball around in the sugar until completely coated. Place them on the baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with your palm. Alternatively, you can just leave it in balls if you want a thicker cookie.
6 Bake for 8-10 minutes (I did 9 minutes), until the cookies begin to crack on top. Don’t over bake! Remove and let it cool on the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up some as they cool. Enjoy!
