I made these cookies not too long ago

I substituted light molasses, which I had on hand, for golden syrup,
which is not to be found here. That's what was recommended by the
recipe. I don't know how this compares to golden syrup but the cookies
were great. (I added walnuts and golden raisins, just to kick them up
a notch.)

I think I'll try this pudding recipe, too.
