Healthy-Ish Lactation Cookies image

A friend gave me a recipe for lactation cookies but I can devour those things like they're water, so I wanted to make them a tad bit healthier to ease the guilt. :) One note is that if you are using table salt, reduce the salt to 1 teaspoon! I love the way sea salt adds a little more crunch and depth to these cookies. So satisfying. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 60 cookies, 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups turbinado sugar
2 tablespoons flax seed meal
4 tablespoons water
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons brewer's yeast
3 cups old fashioned oats (extra thick)
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut (large flakes)
3/4 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and put parchment paper down on a large cookie sheet.
  • Combine 2 TB flax seed meal with 4 TB water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Place butter and sugar in large bowl. Use hand mixer to cream until light and fluffy. Add flax/water mixture (will be very gelatinous) and mix well. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well. Lastly, add vanilla and almond extracts and mix well.
  • In a medium bowl, mix flours, sea salt, baking soda and brewer's yeast.
  • In a few batches, add dry ingredients in medium bowl to the butter/sugar mixture in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly (you may have to switch to a wooden spoon during this step, as the dough gets thick!).
  • Add in oats, chocolate chips, coconut flakes and almonds, mixing well.
  • Scoop dough onto cookie sheet with space between the cookies.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until desired brownness is achieved.
  • Remove from oven, let sit in pan for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste, but they did seem to help increase my milk supply. I would probably try a different recipe next time.
