Directions

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring constantly until deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and transfer butter to a small bowl. Let it cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, light brown sugar, and salt until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add ground ginger, grated ginger, vanilla extract, and egg whites, and mix until well combined. Add flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Do not over-mix.
  5. Drop two tablespoons of batter per cookie on prepared baking sheet, leaving space between cookies. Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are brown. Transfer cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely.
