1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix in egg whites. Once combined add corn syrup and molasses. Beat until fully mixed, scraping down the bowl as needed.
