Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, coconut oil, molasses, and chia egg. Stir until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined (it may be easier to use your hands to mix).
Roll the cookie dough into balls (about 2 tbsp each), roll each ball in the sugar, and place evenly spaced on a lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 9-10 minutes until fragrant and no longer wet looking.
When the cookies come out of the oven, smash them with the back of a spatula until they look like cookies. Allow to cool before eating.
