Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Step 2
Combine butter and sugar in medium-size bowl and cream with wooden spoon. Gradually add egg whites and beat until smooth. Add lemon zest, ginger and vanilla and lemon extracts and stir to mix. Add flour and stir to incorporate.
- Step 3
For each cookie, drop a teaspoonful of batter onto well-buttered baking sheet and spread batter into a 3-inch square (for easy handling, make only four cookies at a time).
- Step 4
Bake 4 minutes, or until edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and use spatula to flip cookies onto a plate; working quickly, roll each into a tight tube; press the outside edge of each to close, and hold a few seconds to ensure shape. Place on wire cake rack to cool completely. Continue baking and shaping until all batter is used. Store in airtight container until ready to serve.
