Preheat oven to 375°.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves set aside.
In a large mixer bowl at medium speed, beat 1 cup of the sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and molasses. Add flour mixture and beat at low speed until well blended. Form into 1-inch balls and dip tops into remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Place sugar-side up on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.
