Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat in the egg and molasses.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Pour into the wet mixture and stir to combine. Mix in the butterscotch chips.
Scoop out the dough in 1 tbsp portions. Roll into balls then roll in additional sugar until covered. Place on a lined cookie sheet leaving enough room for the dough to spread while baking.
Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Enjoy!
