  • In a bowl, cream the butter with a spatula until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Incorporate the brown sugar and continue mixing until well blended. Add the egg and keep mixing.
  • In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Add the honey to the butter mixture.
  • Once the butter mixture is well combined; gradually add the flour mixture to form the cookie dough. Mix the flour gradually. Continue mixing until you obtain a dough that no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl or the spatula; once this consistency is achieved, remove from the bowl to knead.
  • Knead the mixture to form a uniform dough ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and roll out with a rolling pin to form a base.
  • Cut the dough with a gingerbread man cutter; the remaining dough can be kneaded again to form more shapes. Place the cut-out figures on a non-stick baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 180°C.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool. Decorate the cookies with icing.
