Steps to Prepare
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and baking soda until well mixed.
In another bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and light.
Add molasses and freshly grated ginger to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, flattening each ball.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are crisp and centers remain chewy.
Drizzle the cookies with the prepared pomegranate glaze while still warm.
