Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- scant 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
-1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 egg whites
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
2. Melt the butter gently in a pan, then let it cool but not solidify.
3. Sift the flour and spices together, the sift again to ensure they are well mixed and lightly aerated. Sift the brown sugar to remove any lumps.
4. Beat the egg whites until they stand in soft peaks. Gradually beat in the sugar. Carefully fold in the flour mixture. Drizzle in the butter and fold until just combined.
5. Place 2-3 heaping teaspoons of the dough onto a baking sheet and spread each one to form a 3-inch circle. Bake until just set and beginning to brown on the edges, 5-6 minutes. While one batch of cookies is cooking, spread the next one on the second baking sheet. Oil a rolling pin.
6. When baked, let the cookies stand for a few seconds. Then, working quickly before they set, carefully remove from the baking sheet with a slim spatula and place over the oiled rolling pin; they will cool in a curve. Remove from the rolling pin. Repeat until all the dough is baked. Store in an airtight container for two to three days.
