2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Scant 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt

Raisins or currants for eyes and buttons

For the glaze:

1 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted after measuring if lumpy

1 1/2 tablespoons corn oil or other flavorless vegetable oil

3 1/2 tablespoons water

For the cookies: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, oil, honey, molasses and brown sugar. Cook, stirring, until the butter melts and the mixture just comes to a full boil; immediately start timing and cook for exactly 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; let cool slightly.
