Preheat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 4, 160°Fan) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Add butter, light brown sugar and golden syrup to a large mixing bowl and melt it in the microwave on a medium to high heat. Stop the microwave every 15 to 20 seconds and give the mixture a stir.
130 g Light Brown Sugar, 100 g Margarine Or Butter, 2 tbsp Golden Syrup
Once melted, add flour, bicarbonate of soda and ground ginger to the mixing bowl and mix together until a dough has formed.
230 g Self-Raising Flour, 2 tbsp Ground Ginger, 1 tsp Bicarbonate Of Soda
Scoop a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball using the palm of your hands. Place the ball onto a lined baking tray. Repeat this step for the remaining dough; leave a gap between each ball.
Gently press the dough with your fingers to flatten slightly.
Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Once baked, leave the biscuits to cool down for at least 10 minutes then enjoy!

Notes
Don't Have Golden Syrup?
You can make this ginger biscuit recipe without golden syrup! Though I do prefer to include it in my biscuits. If you want to leave the golden syrup out, use 150 grams of light brown sugar instead.You can use honey instead of golden syrup. I put a list together of golden syrup alternatives you can use.
