In a large bowl, mix the flour & spices well and set them aside.
Beat the melted coconut oil & molasses very well until combined, add the sugar and beat again, then finally add the egg and mix till you get a homogeneous mixture.
Pour the wet mix over the flour and mix with a wooden spoon until they start coming together, then dump over the counter and continue kneading with your hands for a minute until you get a smooth soft dough. If it's too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour, if too dry, add a drop of water.
Split the dough into 2 balls, cover, and chill in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight if you wish. Roll out and cut out into shapes. If it is hard to roll out leave it for a few minutes to warm up then roll.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for around 8mins. This will give you soft cookies. For 10-11 mins for crunchier cookies. Watch them closely as they burn fast. Allow them to cool for 5 to 10mins before removing from the tray, they will harden up slightly as they cool down.
