Best Ever Lactation Cookies!

Today I’m sharing my recipe for the best ever lactation cookies. I’ve made these for new moms in the past and have gotten rave reviews, and I’ve been using them on my journey to induce lactation myself with great results! These are easy, delicious, and cute as hell to look at. Make them for yourself for a delicious treat, or if you’re the non-lactating partner make them for your lady to make sure she knows how much you appreciate her liquid assets. (Recipe below picture!)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats (NOT quick cook oats)

3/4 cup all purpose flour

3 tablespoons brewers yeast

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1/4 cup ground hemp seed

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup salted butter (room temperature)

3/8 cup granulated white sugar

3/8 cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 large egg

1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

12 ounce package of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350F.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, brewers yeast, flaxseed, hemp seed, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine the dry ingredients and set them aside for later.

3. In a stand mixer or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer beat the butter until it no longer resembles bars and is smooth. Add the white and brown sugar to the butter and cream together on a medium high speed setting for about 3 minutes until lighter in color and smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until well combined. Turn your speed down to a low or “stir” setting and begin adding the well mixed dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time. Continue beating the mixture until the wet and dry ingredients are fully combined. Add the chocolate chips and sprinkles to the mixture and continue to beat until the chocolate chips and sprinkles are just mixed in.

4. Chill the dough for about half an hour in the fridge.

5. Scoop the cookie dough on to your baking sheet in balls about the size of a ping pong ball or roughly an inch and a quarter in diameter.

6. Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes until the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown on the edges. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for approximately 5 minutes before removing them to a plate. Store them in an airtight container once the cookies have fully cooled down.

I think these cookies are delicious and really seem to help with my milk volume. This recipe makes approximately enough cookies for a two week supply if you’re eating two cookies per day.
