- This one isn't a cookie but you can use Karo Corn syrup to relieve constipation. That's another reason ( besides my cookie making addiction ) I regularly have Karo®️ in my Pantry. My little one used to be constipated a lot. We are gone past that now but I still have it as a pantry staple because it simply makes delicious cookies.
How to make these soft Chewy Oatmeal Cookies.
These cookies are one of the easiest cookies to make, yet so tasty. I love to use salted butter to make them. If you prefer to bake with unsalted butter that's fine, you will need to add ¼ teaspoon of salt to this recipe. See formula below:
¼ teaspoon salt + ½ cup ( 1 Stick unsalted butter ) = ½ cup (1 stick salted butter)
Usually when I want a chewier cookie, I add an extra egg yolk like I did with my chocolate chip cookie recipe. Thanks to Karo®️ Corn Syrup, I can make the chewiest #Cookie ever without having to crack an extra egg just for the yolk. Want to make some more chewy treats? I l bet you do. Check out loads of chewy treats made using my favorite ingredient for the perfect chewiness.

Do you have a specific cookie recipe that uses corn syrup that helps with toddler constipation? Or does this recipe help pretty quickly? Thank you!
Chichi Uguru
Hi Annie,
No I don’t have a specific cookie that does that. Oatmeal helps my kids. You might want to discuss this with your family physician.
