Directions:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.
In a saucepan, gently heat the honey and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the honey mixture with the egg. Add the flour mixture, nuts, and candied peel, stirring until a sticky dough forms. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Flatten each slightly with your fingers.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
For the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar with water or lemon juice until smooth. Brush the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.

Tips:
For extra authenticity, use ground gingerbread spice (Lebkuchengewürz) if available.
