Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180C, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger. Set aside. Beat the butter with the golden syrup in a large bowl until light and billowy. Add the sugar and tangerine zest, and stir until they are incorporated.
- Use a wooden spoon to stir in the flour mixture by hand just until the dough is smooth.
- Spoon the batter onto the prepared sheets in mounds of about 1 tablespoons each, allowing some space between cookies. Press down on each one gently with the back of a fork.
- Bake about 8 minutes. (I rotate the pans top/bottom/back/front.) Slide the cookies still on parchment onto a cooling rack, and let them cool completely. They will keep in an airtight container for a couple days.
- Honey can be substituted for the golden syrup, although it will change the flavor of the cookies slightly.
