Cookie Dough:
• 3 cups flour (all-purpose)
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon cloves (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 large egg
• 3 ounces butter (unsalted, melted)
• 3/4 cup honey

Glaze:
• 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
• 1 to 2 tablespoons water

1. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves (be sparing with the cloves), nutmeg and allspice, if using, and salt.
2. In a separate large bowl, beat together 2 egg yolks, 1 whole egg, melted butter, and honey.
3. Mix in the dry ingredients until well incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper.
4. Heat oven to 350 F. Using a cookie scoop, portion out mounds of dough and roll them in your hands until they are a completely smooth ball. Place on the prepared cookie sheets leaving 2 inches between each cookie. They will flatten out somewhat but still retain a domed shape.
5. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes, or until just golden, rotating the sheets halfway through for even baking. Cool on the sheets until the cookies firm slightly. Transfer to racks to finish cooling.
   
6. To make the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and enough water (1 to 2 tablespoons) to form a thin icing. Spread on cooled cookies with a pastry brush.
