Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, mix the butter and both sugars on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg until just combined.
Stir in the flour mixture until combined and a dough forms. About a minute.
Form into one inch balls, roll in sugar and place about 2 inches apart on a baking tray.
Gently flatten each ball with your fingers.
Place the unbaked cookies in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until slightly golden and crispy the edges and soft in the middle.
Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Cookies will set as they cool.
