Lactation Cookie Recipe

There are lots of lactation cookie recipes out there. And each one is able to be customized to your taste and preferences.

The key ingredient found in most is brewers yeast. (You can’t taste it at all once they are cooked.)

Most also are oatmeal based. (Reported to increase milk production). Use old fashioned oats, not instant oats. These Bob’s Red Mill Oats are my favorite. I buy 4 bags at a time on Amazon. (I like oatmeal, though.)

You can add chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, nuts, flax meal, peanut butter, or anything else that strikes your fancy!

Here’s my favorite Lactation Cookie recipe – with chocolate chips! Yum! But again, you can change it up by adding any of the ingredients listed above.

1. Mix flax meal with water and let sit.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Cream room temperature butter with sugars.
4. Add in eggs and mix well.
5. Mix in flax meal mix and vanilla.
6. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and brewers yeast, and stir into butter sugar mix.
7. Stir in oats and chocolate chips.
8. Scoop dough by desired amount onto cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
9. Let cookies cool for a few minutes, then remove from the cookie sheet.
10. Enjoy!
