3 parts light corn syrup, 1 part molasses
Karo Syrup is light corn syrup. Unless you buy the dark one.
"Light" here is used in the color sense, i.e. the opposite of "dark." The "corn" part is because it's made from cornstarch. "Syrup" should be obvious. It's mainly glucose and water.
yes, it will affect the color of the cookie though.

Yes, you can use dark corn syrup in place of maple syrup in a carrot recipe, but be aware the taste of the finished product will not have a maple flavor.

White syrup is used in baking when you don't want to have a dark syrup change the colour of the food in a recipe (baking). It is usually called White or Light corn syrup and can be found at most grocery stores with the syrups/baking. It is also sweeter than dark syrup and has vanilla in it.
Since dark corn syrup is a mixture, it doesn't have a definite specific viscosity.
Corn syrup is often used as a sweetening agent in frosting, candy, jams and jellies. It's also used as a pancake syrup and be dark or light and flavored with the addition of extracts like maple or butter. It also used by fast food companies in their "Honey Sauce".
In the UK (which includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), ordinary corn syrup is called golden syrup. Dark corn syrup is called treacle. Canadian Maple syrup however is still called maple syrup.
Molasses has a much, much stronger flavour than Karo (Dark Karo, that is, light Karo has a completely different flavour) but other than the taste of the final product, it should not effect the recipe much. Because of the flavour difference, though, I would cut the amount used by at least half, if not more, if I thought the recipe would still be OK.
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is any of a group of corn syrups which have undergone enzymatic processing in order to increase their fructose content and are then mixed with pure corn syrup (100% glucose) to reach their final form. Corn Syrup is a viscous, sweet syrup produced by breaking down (hydrolyzing) cornstarch, either by heating it with a dilute acid or by combining it with enzymes. Cornstarch, or cornflour, is the starch of the maize grain, commonly known as corn.
