Lactation cookies.

A few days ago I posted the recipe for Molten Lava Cakes! I started it months ago, so it is pretty far down in the feed. If you're interested, here it is!!


Go ahead, laugh. The name of these cookies is pretty silly, but all those breastfeeding mama's out there will appreciate the recipe! They are basically regular cookies (as in, not much healthier) but with the addition of flax and brewers yeast. They are yummy! I got the recipe from my wonderful lactation consultant and she got it from this website.

Here goes!

1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 T water
2 T flax meal
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 cups flour
1 t vanilla
2 cups white flour
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
3 cups oats
1 cup chocolate chips
2-4 T brewer's yeast (I used four and couldn't tell at all)

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix the flax seed meal with water and let sit for 3-5 minutes
Beat butter, sugar and brown sugar well.
Add flax seed mix and vanilla, beat well.
Sift together flour, brewer's yeast, baking soda and salt.
Add dry ingredients to butter mix.
Stir in oats and chips.
Scoop onto baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Let sit for a couple of minutes then remove from tray.

3 oz dark chocolate

Stir ingredients together and bake for 10-12 min at 350 and enjoy.
