2. . In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and syrup . In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, ground ginger, salt and bi carb soda; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
3. Shape dough by tablespoonfuls into balls; place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with bottom of a glass. Bake until cookies are set and edges begin to brown, 12-14 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
