Lactation Cookies

When my daughter was just a few weeks old, I found this recipe somewhere on the interwebs for "lactation cookies", that promised to boost milk supply for nursing mamas.  Boy, did these things work.  The only drawback is that they are so delicious, I couldn't stop eating them!  Considering the individual ingredients, they can't possibly be "light" in calories - but nursing mamas need extra calories, right?  Right??

Anyhoo, no need to be a nursing mama to enjoy these amazing cookies.  My husband stole plenty of them as a matter of fact.  If you are nursing, I can't promise they'll boost supply, but they'll certainly boost mood!  Cookies are happiness.

Preheat oven to 350

3/4 c flour (I used 1/2 c almond flour & 1/4 c coconut flour)
2 c oats
1 t baking soda
3/4 t salt (original recipe called for 1 t, but they turned out a bit salty so I reduced it)
3 T brewer's yeast
1 c ground flaxseed (3/4 c also works well)
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar

3/4 c almond butter
1/2 c butter
1/3 c water
2 eggs
2 t vanilla

Handful each - chocolate chips & chopped nuts (optional)

Blend dry ingredients together (top section); beat wet ingredients together in separate bowl (bottom section).  Mix both dry & wet together, then stir in choco chips & nuts.  Drop by big ol' spoonfuls onto greased sheet or parchment-lined sheet, bake at 350 for 12-14 mins or until lightly tanned.  Enjoy :-)
