Ingredients

750 mL (3 cups) Rice Krispies* cereal
375 mL (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
125 mL (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
5 mL (1 tsp) baking powder
1 mL (1/4 tsp) salt
2 mL (1/2 tsp) cinnamon
75 mL (1/3 cup) margarine or butter
50 mL (1/4 cup) finely chopped crystallized ginger
3 egg whites
2 mL (1/2 tsp) almond extract

Directions

1. In food processor, process cereal about 15 seconds or until it becomes fine crumbs. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and margarine. Process about 30 seconds or until mixture resembles coarse meal.

2. Transfer cereal mixture to large bowl. Stir in ginger. Add egg whites and almond extract. Stir to form stiff dough.

3. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Divide dough in two. Roll into two logs about 20 cm (8 inches) long. Place on baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Flatten logs to 7 1/2 cm (3 inches) wide.

4. Bake at 150°C (300°F) about 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Place pan on wire rack to cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan to cutting board. Cut diagonally, using serrated knife, into 1 cm (1/2-inch) slices. Return to pan, standing upright on bottoms. Bake about 25 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack. Store in airtight container.
