Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg, vanilla and molasses, and beat until the dough turns a light brown color, about 2 more minutes.
With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the dough and mix together until just combined.
In separate a small bowl, mix together your cinnamon and sugar topping. Use a cookie scoop to scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Roll your dough ball into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place cookie dough on prepared sheet and space about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until cookies are crinkly and the edges are set. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheet before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
