Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and salt in a small bowl.
Whisk egg, butter, granulated sugar, molasses, and brown sugar in a medium bowl.
Mix in dry ingredients just to combine.
Place sanding sugar in a shallow bowl.
Scoop out dough by the tablespoonful and roll into balls (if dough is sticky, chill 20 minutes).
Roll in sugar and place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2" apart.
Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until cookies are puffed, cracked, and just set around edges (over-baked cookies won't be chewy), 8–10 minutes.
Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
MAKE AHEAD: Cookie dough can be made and rolled into balls 2 weeks ahead.
Freeze on a baking sheet; transfer to resealable plastic bags.
