    1/4 c  Honey (70 g)
      6 tb White sugar (70 g)
      1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Fround cardamom
    1/2 ts Ground ginger
    1/2 ts Ground white pepper
    1/4 ts Ground allspice
    1/4 ts Ground cloves
    1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
    1/4 ts Salt
      2 tb Whole milk; cold from the

  2 1/2 c  A-P flour (350 g)

MMMMM---------------------------GLAZE--------------------------------
      1 c  Powdered sugar (115 g);
           - sifted
      1 tb Lemon juice
      1 tb Water

  Set your oven @ 375°F/190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment
  paper or silicon baking mat.

  Make The Cookie Dough:

  Warm the molasses, honey, and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan,
  stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.

  Remove the pan from heat and stir in the spices and salt. Let cool
  until just warm to the touch.

  Stir in the milk, baking soda, and egg. Add the flour and stir
  until most of the flour is absorbed. Using your hands, knead the
  dough until the remaining flour is incorporated.

  Shape The Cookies:

  Pinch off about 1 ts of dough and roll a 1" ball. Place on the
  prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough, spacing
  the balls of dough 1" apart from each other.

  Bake in the oven for 9 to 11 minutes: or until the bottom of the
  cookies are just starting to brown.

  Stir together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water to make
  the glaze.

  Glaze The Cookies:

  Once the cookies are done baking, pull the pan out of the oven and
  brush the hot cookies with the glaze, making sure to cover as much
  of the tops and sides as possible. Don't worry if some of the glaze
  drips onto the baking sheet.

  Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet until the glaze is dry to
  the touch, then move to a cooling rack. The cookies improve (the
  spices mellow and the texture softens) after a day or two in a
  sealed airtight container.
