What is your lactation cookie recipe?

[sonrisa]

A post on ML reminded me I should start baking these again. I can't remember what recipe I used last time. WHat is your favorite recipe and why (tasty? healthy? very good milk production?)

I don't have a recipe to share, but I have been looking for one, too.

Do they really work? How much of a difference do you see, and after how long?

I used the Noel Trujillo recipe - google "Noel Trujillo lactation cookies." Pretty good!

Thirded!  I made these, but added coconut to them.  They were legit good cookies!

I got some at a Home Brew store, it was kind of pricey for very little. Then I looked at a Vitamin store and found a huge container there for like $14. More than I'll ever use probably.

I use this one, too, but replace 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of cocoa so they're double chocolate.

I bought a bag of brewers yeast at a health food/supplement type place. It will be with that stuff, not with the baking yeast.

I make these with double the flax and whatever nuts I have around.

I use this recipe, except I don't do chocolate chips and instead use cranberries. I don't like chocolate in oatmeal.

Are these just to increase supply?

Supposed to be good for supply. They're also just plain yummy with some nutritional ingredients to offset cookie guilt.

Thanks, everyone.

I went through the recipes here and a few others I found online. I've made a modified combination recipe. When it is out of the oven I'll let you know how it tastes :-)

I modified the Noel Trujillo recipe.

I decreased flour to 1 1/2 cups
Increased flax meal to 1/2 cup
Increased water to 1/3 cup.
Added in 1/2 cup Sunbutter.
Use milk chocolate chips
