Preparation:

 

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.

 

Place the flour into a large mixing bowl. In a small pot heat up the honey over a low heat. Once the honey is hot add it to the flour and mix until everything is well combined. Leave it in a cold place to cool completely.  

 

Place the flour and honey mix onto a marble countertop or a board. Add the rest of the ingredients and knead firmly until everything is combined. Roll the dough in one direction only, until about 0,5 cm thin. 

 

Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Cut various shapes out of the pastry and place them onto the tray. Bake for 15 minutes in 180°C.

 

 

Icing: Break a 100g of dark chocolate and place into a heatproof bowl. Sit over a pan of simmering water and allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally. Add the double cream and stir constantly for another 2-3 minutes.

 

Cover the cookies with the icing and allow it to cool completely.

 

Enjoy!
