Method
In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and molasses.In separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, ginger, baking soda, salt, cloves and cinnamon; stir into molasses mixture in 2 additions, using hands if necessary. Remove from bowl; wrap and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour.
Divide dough into quarters; roll each into 10-inch (25 cm) log. Cut 1 log into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick slices. Roll each slice into 8-inch (20 cm) rope. Curve each to create horseshoe; cross ends over each other twice. Bring ends to curve to create pretzel; press down. Repeat with remaining logs.
Place pretzels, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined baking sheets. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until firm and darkened on bottoms, about 12 minutes. Let cool on pans on racks for 5 minutes.
Glaze: In bowl, mix together icing sugar, milk and water. Dip tops of warm pretzels into glaze. Let stand on racks until dry and cool, about 30 minutes, using spatula to loosen.
