This is my first time baking cookies from scratch!! These are amazing and I will definitely be making more!!! So easy to do!! This recipe makes a good batch also!!
I made these for my daughter-in-law and out of the three types of lactation cookies I ve made - these are the best. We kept some for ourselves. I didn t have nor did I know if she liked nuts so I didn t use them. Recipe was great as is. I kept water out in the beginning to see if too runny but cup of water was perfect. I also liked it didn t use as much brewers yeast like the other recipes. It seemed to leave an aftertaste.
These were by far the best boobie cookies I have made and my sister in law just asked me to make her another batch. She even gave some to a friend of hers so now I have to make more, lucky me. I even ate one to try and I am not breastfeeding, it was so yummy. And it made way more cookies then what it says for one batch
First lactation cookie recipe I tried and they turned out great. You definitely need the water due to the amount of ground flax seed. And only use the debittered version of Brewer’s Yeast, if not the cookies will have a noticeable off putting bitterness.
They're great! I didn't have all the ingredients so I substituted the shortening for coconut oil replaced the chocolate chips with dark chocolate hazelnut bar accidentally added some baking powder (lol) and a few extra oats. Ooh also I did rounded dtsp and it made waaay more than 36 cookies.:)
I made a few alterations. I used almond extract instead of vanilla and sense im diabetic i used truvia baking sugar and Hershey kitchen sugar free chocolate chips. Those are so good and do not taste sugar free. I love these cookies. I used the teaspoon to make the cookies. I probably used about 2tsp of mix per cookie. I ate a good 10-15 while cooking them and still had 45 cookies
I don't use walnuts so the batter is very thin like cake batter. I use another 2 cups of flour and bake as directed. They're super yummy!!
I've tried quite a few lactation recipes and this one tastes the worst. Water doesn't belong in a cookie recipe, the chocolate doesn't even mask the Brewers yeast. I made up the cookies, tried one....tried three more just to see if maybe it would get better but it didn't, had to throw it all out. Waste of ingredients.
Used on hand and healthier coconut oil vs shortening, unsalted butter. Organic sugar had larger crystals than regular. Dark Chocolate chunks (Aldi) vs chocolate chips. Now brand Brewer's Yeast (less bitter on the label). Biggest hint I can tell you is to mix the water and flax seed meal, whisk it up, and immediately add it in with the other wet ingredients. I used a Pampered Chef tbs cookie scoop and the cookies stayed rounded and chewy. Very good. Next time I will try my cacao powder vs cocoa.
