OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHUNK LACTATION COOKIES
These hearty monster cookies have it all for nursing mamas: lactogenic oats, ground flaxseed, and brewer's yeast powder; subtly crunchy, omega-rich chia seeds; and a bit of coconut oil, with its high lauric acid content to boost milk quality. A bevy of chocolate chunks and other goodies are added to the mix to keep anyone-nursing or not-reaching for more.

Steps:
- Mix oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast powder, flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt in a large bowl.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat sugar, coconut oil, and butter in another large bowl, scraping down sides as needed, until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until incorporated, about 4 minutes. Add applesauce and beat for just a few seconds (it will break the mixture slightly and look lumpy; that's okay).
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add dry ingredients and beat just to combine. Using a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips, cranberries, and coconut flakes (if using). Chill dough at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Coat parchment with nonstick spray.
- Using a 1/4-cup (2.5-oz.) scoop, portion dough on prepared baking sheet, spacing 1"-2" apart (you'll get 6 per sheet). Flatten top of each cookie with your hand, then season lightly with flaky sea salt. Bake cookies until golden brown, 12-14 minutes.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely (if moved immediately, they will crack and start to break apart). Repeat with remaining dough.
- Do Ahead: Cookies can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or place in a freezer-safe bag and freeze up to 1 month. Reheat by microwaving on low about 1 minute.
