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.
