Kid-friendly Gingerbread cookies

The original recipe was to spicy for my son, so I adapted and he loves this one.

Ingredients

590 g flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
95 g unsalted butter
170 g brown sugar
4 teaspoons ground ginger
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
5 ground cloves
1/2 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs
85 g unsulfured honey

Royal Icing


Directions

Sift together flour, baking soda, and baking powder into a large bowl. Set aside.

Put butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer or Bimby, mix on medium speed until fluffy. Mix in all the remaining ingredients until just combined. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 180°. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface. Cut into little men with a cookie cutter.

Bake cookies for 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets.

Put icing in a pastry bag fitted with a small plain round tip (such as PME 2) and pipe designs on cookies. Let icing set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.
