          - not blackstrap
   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

          - refrigerator
     1 ts Baking soda
     1 lg Egg; cold from the ice box
 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.
