Luscious Lactation Cookies

I wasn't expecting these cookies to taste SO good, but they are AMAZING! Breastfeeding my second baby was (and still is) very important to me. My breastfeeding journey didn't go as planned with my daughter partly because I wasn't eating and drinking enough to keep up with my supply. In order to avoid this happening with my son, I'm very conscious of eating lactation friendly foods- this recipe being one of them. Even if you're not lactating, but looking for a good, homemade cookie recipe- this is it! If you have a friend who is having a baby and planning to breastfeed, this is a great excuse to bring them cookies and sneak in some baby snuggles!

Ingredients:
3 cups of old fashioned rolled oats (I used a GF version)
1.5 cups of flour (I used a GF version)
5 Tablespoons of Brewer's Yeast
3 Tablespoons of flaxseed meal
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of salt
12 tablespoons of butter
4 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 cup of sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
topping of choice (optional): chocolate chips, walnuts, shredded coconut, etc.

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Combine oats, flour, flaxseed, yeast, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and mix well
In a separate (large) bowl, beat butter and coconut oil until creamy
Add in sugar and beat until well combined
Add in egg and egg yolk and beat again
Add in vanilla extract and beat again
Slowly add in the dry ingredients until all the ingredients are combined
Feel free to add in the "toppings" so they are combined in the mixture or you can place them on top of the 1 inch cookie dough rounds
Bake for 12-14 minutes

Enjoy :)
