LACTATION COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE AND CRANBERRIES



Lactation Cookies with Chocolate and Cranberries image

This is a delish cookie recipe I have perfected to make soft but firm cookies. These are made for lactating mommies, however my whole family enjoys these cookies. If you don't need them for lactation you can remove the brewer's yeast. The ingredients which help boost milk supply for breast feeding are the coconut oil, oats, brewer's yeast, and flax meal, so do not skip those. Store in an airtight cookie jar. Dough can be frozen.

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ⅓ cups white sugar, divided
2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • Cream together butter and 1 cup white sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in egg yolks and mix until thoroughly combined. Mix in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until incorporated. Pour in half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined (dough will be thick). Fold in cranberries.
  • Place remaining 1/3 cup white sugar in a shallow bowl or pie pan. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls, and then roll in sugar to coat. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops begin to crackle and bottoms are just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 7 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
