Put honey, sugar, and spices in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and add baking soda, stir (the mixture will foam and increase).

Add butter gradually and stir. Add egg and stir.

Add sifted flour and knead the dough (I took a hand mixer with hook attachments). Form a ball.

Roll out the dough 5mm thick between two sheets of parchment or silicone mats. Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes-1 hour.

Cut out the cookies and transfer them to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.

Bake at 350F/175C for 10 minutes.
