Lactation Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons flax seed meal

1/4 cup water

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 egg yolks

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup brewers' yeast

1 tablespoon wheat germ

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix flaxseed with water in small bowl and let soak for 5 minutes.

Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Add egg yolks and vanilla extract; beat to incorporate. Stir flax seed mixture into the butter mixture.

Mix flour, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar in a separate bowl; add to butter mixture and stir until just combined. Fold oats and chocolate chips into the dough.

Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
