Melt butter, honey and sugar over a low heat. Add the spices and cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly and add to the cooled spicy syrup.

Gradually add flour with soda and cocoa, knead soft, elastic dough. Leave in the refrigerator for a few hours (or better for the night).

Roll out the dough thinly, cut out the cookies of the desired shape. Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes.

Make a glaze. Mix the egg white, icing sugar and lemon juice. Add the powder gradually until the glaze is in consistency like sour cream. If necessary, food coloring can be added to part of the glaze.
