Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Stir in the golden syrup until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring well to combine. If using, fold in the crystallized ginger.
Using your hands, form the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each ball with a fork to create a decorative pattern on the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
