In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
(If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency).
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk.
Wrap the dough disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk to approximately ¼ inch thickness.
Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
Gather any scraps and reroll the dough to cut out more cookies.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
