Lactation Cookies

I got this recipe from Stephanie Fritz a few years ago. They have a few ingredients in them to help boost milk supply, they're really just a healthier cookie. Call me crazy, but I just LOVE these cookies, the "healthy" ingredients give it a good rich flavor. Just don't eat too many of them :)

* 1 cup butter
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 4 tablespoons water
* 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal*
* 2 large eggs* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 cups flour* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups oats, thick cut if you can get them
* 1 cup or more chocolate chips
* 2 tablespoons of brewers yeast* (be generous)


Directions:


Preheat oven at 375 degrees F.

Mix together 2 tablespoons of flaxseed mealand water, set aside for 3-5 minutes.

Cream (beat well) margarine and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mix well. Stir flaxseed mixture and add with vanillato the margarine mix. Beat until blended.

Sift together dry ingredients,except oats and chips. Add to margarine mixture. Stir in oats then chips. Scoop or drop onto baking sheet, preferably lined with parchment or silpat.The dough is a little crumbly, so it helps to use a scoop.


Bake 8-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies.

*If you don't like chocolate chips, it can be any sort of sweet chip-likething. (Peanut butter chips, butterscotch, whatever you like!) And I imaginethat you could even sub with nuts if you wanted! But those cookies?Seriously, the BEST EVER.
