Instructions
Place sugars in a saucepan with honey, water and spices. Whisk together over medium heat until the sugars dissolve and begins to simmer. Immediately remove from the heat and let cool for 4 - 5 minutes.
Add salt, baking soda, pouring cream, and egg, then mix until thoroughly combined. Add flour and stir together with a wooden spoon until everything comes together to form a firm dough.
Turn dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface, bring together and wrap in cling wrap. Place prepared dough in refrigerator to rest for minimum of 4 hours or up to 1-2 days.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 190°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Take rounded teaspoons of dough and roll into a smooth ball, place on the prepared baking tray.
Bake in preheated oven until cookies are perfectly dome-shaped with light golden brown bottoms, approximately 9 - 10 minutes; avoid over baking. Leave to cool on the baking tray.
To make the icing, mix icing sugar with lemon juice in a bowl.
Dip the top of each cookie into the icing. Let it drip, then flip it over and place on a tray to set.
Add some sparkle with a small pinch of food grade gold leaf
