Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball between your palms.
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
