In a bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add honey and eggs to the butter mixture, mixing well until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

Fold in finely chopped nuts until evenly distributed.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Scoop small portions of dough and roll into balls.

Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Once cooled, mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla to create a glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the cookies before serving.
