Cream together butter, shortening and brown sugar until fluffy. Add egg, molasses, vanilla extract and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove powder, allspice. Dump this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Use your hands, if necessary to mix everything into a cookie dough consistency.
Chill for at least an hour in the fridge so that dough is easier to handle.
Scoop out small portions of the dough and make small balls.
Roll them in a bowl of granulated sugar and place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes or until edges are firm.
Allow the cookies down completely in the tray before removing them and enjoy.
