How to Make Chewy Cranberry Gingers

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and molasses.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the cranberries and chopped pecans.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
