Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts. Spoon the batter into a mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
