# Step-by-step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine melted coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, molasses, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft, uniform dough forms.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar to coat evenly.
06 - Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
07 - Gently flatten each ball slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
08 - Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
09 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
