Would you use corn syrup for this or the good old fashioned southern syrup.?

This is a great recipe! Thanks for sharing it. It's a little similar to Snickerdoodles given the sugar, flour and cinnamon combination. I'm going to have to try it when thing cool down a bit, it's still kind of warm here at 70. Saturday is calling for 75! I need some cooler temps before I start feeling my baking mojo again!

This sounds very good, is the syrup white or darker syrup. It sounds like Karo syrup to me, but I am not sure. Perhaps a variant of cane syrup. Either way the cookies sound good.

It could be light or dark syrup. Karo could be used.
