Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the eggnog. Mix until just combined.
Step 5: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough into bowls of coarse sugar, rolling them around to coat.
Step 6: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cookie comes out clean.
Step 7: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
