for a sheet

Heat the butter, sugar, honey, and cocoa powder in a saucepan until dissolved and blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and gingerbread spice. Using the dough hook of a mixer, combine the wet and dry ingredients, along with the egg yolk, until a firm dough forms. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out shapes. Bake the gingerbread for about 7 minutes. If you’d like to make a glaze for the gingerbread, you can use the leftover egg whites for this.
