In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground allspice.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Whisking the dry ingredients ensures the leaveners and spices are evenly distributed.

Add about one-third of the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed, then add half of the molasses mixture and mix. Repeat, ending with the final third of the dry ingredients.
Približno 3 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Mix until just combined after each addition to avoid overworking the dough.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Približno 30 min

Place the sugar-coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between them for spreading.
