Instructions: Preheat oven to 400F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. In a med. bowl, mix flour, ground ginger, baking soda, and spice.

Combine butter and brown sugar in a lg. bowl. Beat for 1 min. until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed. Stir in minced ginger.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the dough 1/4 in. thick. Using cookie cutters, cut out shapes. Transfer to baking sheets, placing cookies 1 in. apart. Bake 5 min. until edges of cookies are browned. (Bake both sheets at once, switching racks after 3 min.) Cool 2 min. on wire racks, then gently loosen cookies and cool completely.

Repeat step 3 with remaining dough.
