Lactation-Friendly Cookies image

Great cookies, healthy, and they work! For healthier version, cut sugar in half. I also like to add chopped walnuts and/or 1/4 cup cocoa powder.

Time 30m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup water
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup brewers' yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups oats
1 cup cocoa nibs, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Mix water and flaxseed together in a bowl; soak 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Beat coconut oil, white sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the first egg into the butter until completely blended. Add vanilla with the second egg and beat until smooth.
  • Stir flour, brewer's yeast, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to the large bowl and mix until just incorporated into the coconut oil mixture forming a dough. Fold oats and cocoa nibs into the dough; roll into small balls, arrange onto baking sheets, and flatten slightly.
  • Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
