In a small bowl mix the spices. Feel free to use more or less of those spices you like best, for me this mixture is the perfect balance of  ‘fall spices’.

Preheat oven to 365°F

In a small pot place the honey, sugar and the spice mixture, using a whisk mix well. Once boiled, add the baking soda and whisk until the mixture is light and frothy. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool for 5 minutes then whisk the egg into the mixture.  Mix the flour and baking powder and then using a wooden spoon stir the flour into the mixture. With wet hands, form balls.
Bake for 10 minutes (turn the tray after 5 for even coloring). Place on a cooling rack.

Frosting:

Whisk the powdered sugar with the milk until you get a smooth mixture.
Dip each cookie into the sugar coating and let drip onto the cooling rack.
The cookies will form a crackly sugar exterior that is fun to bite into and will also help keep the cookies moist inside.

Place cookies in an airtight container to store.
