The classic dunking cookie
Lyle’s Golden Syrup is the secret ingredient and this recipe is best when you can get your hands on a can. But in a pinch, you can substitute 2/3 cup light corn syrup and 1/3 cup molasses. It’s not going to be the same, but it is still good. Adapted from the Gingernut Biscuits recipe on Food.com.
