To make these cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- Food coloring (optional)

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
To make the fondant, mix together the powdered sugar and milk until a smooth, thick paste forms. If desired, add food coloring to achieve your desired color. Spread the fondant over the cooled cookies and allow it to set before serving.
