*Recipe* Lactation Cookies

Hi everyone,

It’s no secret that I have had milk supply issues. Between retained placenta, which hinders production, to having to go days and weeks without nursing due to being in the hospital, it’s been a tough road but I’ve been fighting like crazy to continue to nurse Anissa Marie.

I’ll write a whole seperate post about everything I have tried in order to keep my supply up, but for now, I want to share a delcious recipe for lactation cookies, which has ingredients meant to boost milk supply. I just made these yesterday and they are so tasty- whether or not you’re a milkin’ mama!

The original recipe found can be found here on The Leaky Boob, but I added and tweaked this recipe to make it my own!

 

• 1 cup butter (softened)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons flaxseed (whole)
• 4 tablespoons of water
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons  yeast
• 3 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup coconut shavings
• 1 cup chocolate chips

1. Soak the flaxseed in the water for a few minutes to soften.
2. Cream together butter and sugar, add eggs, flaxseed and vanilla.
3. Add in all other ingredients.
4. Drop on cookie sheet .
5. Bake 8 – 12 minutes on 375º.
6. Enjoy! Makes about 30 cookies.

XO,
