Instructions

1. Melt the butter with the honey and brown sugar over low heat, then let it cool slightly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt and spices.
3. Add the egg and the butter-honey mixture, then work until you have a smooth dough.
4. Cover and chill for 1 hour so the dough firms up.
5. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and roll the dough out to 3 mm thick between two sheets of baking paper.
6. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and place them on a lined baking tray.
7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are golden, then let cool before icing.
