- 2 cups ground almonds
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 egg
- Icing:
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons boiling water, or as needed
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets.
- Mix ground almonds, flour, white sugar, 2 teaspoons cocoa powder, cinnamon, cloves, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to rub in the butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add honey and egg; mix together to form a dough.
- Dust work surface with flour. Roll out dough into a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into gingerbread men shapes with a floured cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan 1 to 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Combine confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder in a bowl. Mix in enough boiling water to make a smooth and spreadable icing. Spread icing on cooled cookies using a table knife. Set aside until icing hardens, about 2 hours.
