Lactation Cookies

These are always an absolute favorite! Whether for my family or others! I like adding pepitas, and to make it really easy, I will make a large batch of dough, portion into cookies, and then freeze them. I only bake so many at a time and keep them in the bag on the counter. I loved having these after my birth!

Add 1/2 cup shredded coconut, chopped brazil nuts and pepitas.

A lot of the recipes mentioned it being dry so I added 4 extra tbsp oil & 4tbsbp almond milk and the mix was very good! I think next time I'll add 1 more extra tbsp almond milk as well since the bottom of the batch was still a bit dry. But the cookies held up very well and are nice to eat! I did almonds instead of coconut and they added a really yummy flavor 😋 I could have done a little less chocolate chips since I used dark chocolate and some of the cookies got a lot of the chocolate 😅

Hmmmmm. I added a little less sugar (still very sweet) and less chocolate chips (that was a mistake), and it's really good. I didn't add brewer's yeast. The 12 tbsp butter and 4 tbsp coconut oil was not too dry for me. Update: It did end up being dry the next day, so I'll try to add more coconut oil and less butter as others suggested.

Took the advice of another note & added equal quantities of coconut oil & butter plus 2 extra tblsp of flour. Cookies were delicious - slightly crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. 12min cooking time. Next time I'll freeze half as the batch is huge.

Make smaller

Slightly less oats, 2 eggs, don't over cook

Add a couple splashes of milk at the end to make the dough stick together better

To prevent them from being too dry or crumbly, I use half butter and half coconut oil, then add a bit of avocado oil before forming the cookies. I've played with this recipe over the 5 or 6 times I've made them and they hold together better.

In order to combat the fussy crumbliness I made them into cookie bars, which turned out quite well.

These are absolutely delicious. Its just too bad my husband ate a bunch of them too😂

It's ok. Too crumbly.
