Preheat the oven to 170°C. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients very well and set aside. Cream the butter with the sugar in the mixer for about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolk, vanilla, honey, and milk and beat until incorporated. Lower the speed and gradually add the dry ingredients while continuing to mix. Incorporate well until a dough is formed. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface. Cut out gingerbread man shapes, Christmas trees, and stars. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown at the edges. Cool. For the glaze, mix in a bowl the powdered sugar with the meringue powder and water. Decorate the cookies with the glaze and let dry.
