Lactation cookie recipe, By sara

Here is an awesome and healthy recipe for lactation cookies. My sister sara made these and they were great! They really do help with milk production. You don't have to breastfeed to enjoy them though! My kids and my husband like them too. Thanks sara for passing on the recipe! 





 Ingredients:
1 cup coconut oil
1 & 1/2 cups brown sugar (use other options for a healthier choice)
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (can be found at any local health food store)
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/sultanas/almonds/macadamia nuts (whatever takes your fancy)
2-4 tablespoons of brewers yeast (be generous) 

• there are other options instead of chocolate chips:
   Coconut and banana
  Choc chip and cranberry
  Dried apricot and white chocolate

  instead of regular chocolate chips, I used fair trade organic 425 cacao chips semi-sweet. 

  
  Directions:

  Preparation time is around 15 minutes.
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

  1) Mix together 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal and water, set aside for 3-5 minutes.

  2) Cream (beat well) margarine and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mix well.

  3) Stir flaxseed mixture and add with vanilla to the margarine mix. Beat until blended.

  4) Sift together dry ingredients, except oats and chips.

  5) Add to margarine mixture. Stir in oats then chips.

  6) Scoop or drop onto baking sheet, preferably lined with parchment. Because the dough is a little crumbly, it might be easier if you use a scoop.

  Bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies. Makes approximately 6 dozen cookies
