This is my go-to lactation cookie recipe for days when I feel like I just need a boost. This recipe was found on Pinterest and is definitely a keeper! Over the course of 7.5 months, I’ve made these cookies about 5-6 times, and each time had great results. Also remember to increase your water intake because with lactation, hydration is key! I also like to enjoy these cookies with Organic Milkmaid Tea by Earth Mama Angel Baby Organics.
Yield: 34 cookies
Ingredients
2 Tbsp flaxseed meal
¼ cup of water
2 cups whole wheat flour or unbleached flour
¼ cup of brewer’s yeast (this is the main ingredient for milk production)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
9 fenugreek capsules (empty capsules and discard)
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup coconut oil, softened
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups of old fashioned oats
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
(Note: I doubled the brewers yeast, and only used about 2.5c oats)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix flaxseed meal and water; set aside.
- Stir together the flour, brewer’s yeast, salt, baking soda and fenugreek, set aside.
- Blend butter, coconut oil, and sugars well. Blend in eggs. Stir in flaxseed mixture and vanilla; mix well.
- Add dry mixture. Mix until just combined. Stir in oats and chocolate chips.
- Scoop 2 Tbsp of dough, 1 to 2 inches apart, onto a silicone lined baking sheet. (About 8 cookies per tray.)
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until matte on the top.
Once cooled, individually wrap cookies in plastic wrap and place them in a container the freezer. Eat at least 2 cookies the first day, and one each day afterwards. unwrap it and nuke it in the microwave for 30 seconds.) Enjoy!
