Lactation Cookies

There are recipes for these cookies all over the web. This is the one I use and I believe I got it from food.com

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons flax seed meal
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups oats
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 2 -4 tablespoons brewer's yeast*

* I have used Nutritional Yeast before because Sprouts had it in the bulk bins, but I just learned that...

Brewer's Yeast is a galactogogue and nutritional yeast is not. They are not compositionally the same - they don't act in the body the same way. So either will work for baking - but one specifically is for helping to boost/support milk production. (source)
