Sift the flour with the spices. Beat the eggs with the sugar until thick. Add the soda, the honey, and the flour. Mix well. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut cookies in whatever shapes you like.

Bake them on buttered sheets in a 350F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until just lightly browned. The Pierniki may be decorated with a thin glaze made of confectioners sugar, water, almond or vanilla extract, and a drop of food coloring.
