1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt

1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup (60ml) eggnog
3–4 tbsp sugar (additional, for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Mix in eggnog. Gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.
Roll tablespoon-sized dough balls in additional sugar and place on prepared sheets.
