Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sift the cocoa powder through a fine strainer to eliminate lumps.
Combine it with the flour, white sugar, ground almonds, cinnamon, cloves and baking soda.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the honey and 1/4 cup of the water.
Stir until a smooth, sticky dough forms.
Allow to stand for 1 minute to absorb the liquid.
Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and pat it into a 6X12 inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Flour the dough lightly and roll over it once or twice with a rolling pin to even it out.
Cut the dough into 1 1/2 inch strips, then cut the strips diagonally to make diamond shapes and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 15 minutes.
Remove from pan to cool.
To Make The Icing: Mix the confectioners' sugar with the remaining 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Brush over the cooled cookies.
The icing will crystallize and harden as it dries.
