1. Make the Dough:

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and molasses until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the egg until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a stiff dough forms.

2. Chill the Dough:

1. Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until firm.

3. Roll and Cut:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
3. Use festive cookie cutters (stars, trees, gingerbread men) to cut out shapes. Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

4. Bake the Biscuits:

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the biscuits are firm.
2. Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Decorate and Serve:

1. Once cooled, decorate the biscuits with royal icing, sprinkles, or edible glitter for a festive touch.
