In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.

In a large bowl, beat together the butter, shortening, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla, mixing until well combined.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.

Transfer the dough onto parchment paper, press into a square, and sprinkle nonpareils on top. Wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the chilled dough into 1/2 inch cubes and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 7 minutes.

Allow cookie bites to cool on the pan for about 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
