Ingredients
Butter, 200 grams (7 1/4 oz. approx)
Baking soda, 1 coffeespoon
Ginger, cinammon and/or clove, 1/2 tsp each
Powder sugar, 250 grams (1/2 lb. approx.)
Sprinkles of your choice.
Directions
1.
Melt together 200 grams butter, 1 1/4 cup honey and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Add 4 cups
2.
flour, 1 coffeespoon baking soda and ginger/cinammon, sieved together. Mix to form a
3.
dough and knead on the counter until it's smooth and of a nice tan colour. Leave in the
4.
fridge until it's cooled completely.
5.
Once cool, roll the dough to a 3mm thick (1/8 in. approx.) and cut using cookie cutters.

If the icing's too hard, it can be thinned by adding a few drops lemon juice.
