You could also use cane syrup if you can find it locally. It has a caramel color and a bit of a molasses taste which I think would be great with these cookies.

Hi there KRMT!

Just spoke with Nea and she had two pieces of advice:

1) Since its only 3 tbsp, it is likely you could just omit it entirely but of the praline will melt into caramel. Though this likely to happen to a certain extent anyway.

2) You could replace with maple syrup but as its less viscous you should use 2 tbsp.

Hope this helps!

Golden syrup in known as 'light treacle' in the UK.

Yes. You can substitute Lyle's Golden Syrup. It has a more caramel like flavor.
Liquid honey has the same texture as corn syrup. I sometimes will sub honey for corn syrup.
