Heat oven to 350°F. Combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in large bowl.

Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.

Add eggs; continue beating until well mixed. Add molasses; continue beating until well mixed.

Add flour and baking powder; beat at low speed until well mixed.

Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 12-inch log on floured wax paper.

Place logs 3 inches apart onto lightly greased (or parchment lined) large cookie sheet. Flatten logs slightly.

Bake 22-25 minutes or until tops are cracked and logs are golden brown. Remove from oven; cool 15 minutes on cookie sheet. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.

Carefully place logs onto cutting surface. Cut into 1/2-inch diagonal slices with serrated knife. Place, cut-side down, onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Return to oven. Bake 9 minutes; turn slices.

Continue baking 5-7 minutes or until cookies are dry and crisp. Cool completely.
