Mix 1 cup sugar, butter, and egg together in a medium bowl until smooth.

Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and ginger in a separate medium bowl; add to the molasses mixture and stir until well combined. Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). While the oven is preheating, roll dough into 1-inch diameter balls; roll each ball in remaining 1/2 cup white sugar before placing 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake in batches in the preheated oven until tops are cracked, about 8 to 10 minutes.
