Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt until well combined.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil if it is not already in solid form, then let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the molasses and melted coconut oil. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a crumbly dough begins to form.
Using your hands, knead the dough in the bowl until it forms a smooth and pliable dough.
Scoop tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, flatten each ball slightly to about 1cm thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are firm around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the trays for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
