Method
Cinnamon Sugar: In small bowl, stir sugar with cinnamon; set aside.
Dough: In bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.
In large bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and molasses until combined; whisk in egg and vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour mixture to form soft dough. Divide dough in half; shape into discs. Wrap each in plastic wrap; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll dough by 1 tbsp into balls; roll in Cinnamon Sugar to coat. Arrange, 2 inches apart, on prepared pans. Press gently with palm of hand to 1/2-inch thickness.
Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until cookies spread and tops crack, about 10 minutes. Let cool on pan on rack for 2 minutes; transfer directly to rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
Glaze: In small bowl, whisk icing sugar with milk until smooth, adding more milk, 1/2 tsp at a time, until desired consistency; drizzle over cookies. Let stand until set, about 20 minutes.
