Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chopped skinned pistachios, rinsed if salted
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300°F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add pistachios and stir until the butter is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Whisk in sugar. Add flour, egg whites and ginger and whisk until smooth. Drop the batter by heaping teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake, one sheet at a time, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Immediately transfer the cookies with a spatula to a rack to cool. If the cookies begin to stick before all are removed, return the pan briefly to the oven.
