Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in both gingers, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Set aside.

Cream butter, honey, and 1/2 cup sugar in bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla.

Add dry mixture to wet mixture and mix until combined. Chill dough for one hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Use a tablespoon scoop to portion dough. Roll into a ball and roll into remaining sugar. Use the bottom of a glass to flatten slightly.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for two minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
