Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses and the egg to the bowl, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Roll each dough ball in the additional granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set and the center looks slightly underbaked.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
