Blend cloves, cinnaon, salt, and ginger with creamed mixture. Add molasses mixture. Beat in flour. Roll thick and cut while hot. Bake at 375 for 5-10 minutes, depending on cookie size. Immediately dip completely in glaze (this is what keeps the cookies moist and delicious, but you can cut about 1/3 of the calories if you leave it out). I used a small cookie cutter and got 160 cookies from this recipe.
