Lactation Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter (for a healthier option, use coconut oil instead which is super good for you!)
• 1½ cups brown sugar (if wanting to reduce sugar, you could try just 1 cup)
• 4 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons flax-seed meal (can be  found at any local health food store)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional, for flavor)
• 2 cups plain flour (for a healthier option, try substituting with coconut flour, either half or all)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups oats, thick cut if you can get them
• 1 cup or more chocolate chips/sultanas/almonds/macadamia nuts (optional, whatever sounds good to you!)
• 2-4 tablespoons of brewer’s yeast (IMPORTANT: Do not substitute any other products or yeasts for the brewer’s yeast! That’s the ingredient that makes the cookies work, along with oats. Nutritional yeast and baker’s yeast is different. If you don’t notice much of an increase the first time, add more brewer’s yeast.)

Instructions:

• Mix all ingredients together well.
• Bake cookies at 375⁰ for 10-15 minutes.
