Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (approx gas 5) and grease 2 large baking trays.

Mix together the flour, sugar, salt, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and cinnamon in a bowl.

Add the golden syrup and the butter and mix together well until it forms a soft workable dough. (If it is too crumbly you can add a little more butter, or if it is too sticky add a little more flour).

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1cm thick and use a cutter of your choice to cut them into shapes.

Lay out the shapes on the baking trays allowing a little room for them to expand.

Cook for around 10-15 minutes depending on how chewy you want them (the longer time the harder they will be).
