Homemade honey cakes with icing

Fragrant gingerbread cookies cooked with soul will not compare with store-bought ones! As the basis of the recipe, I took a honey cake, which I bake quite often, but I made the dough custard, which is typical for gingerbread. Gingerbread cookies according to this recipe turn out very tasty and do not stale for a long time, although, most likely, they simply will not have time to stale) Try it!
