I still have not had the opportunity to try this recipe, but have heard from many friends that these taste amazing. The best part about them is that if you are breast feeding and having supply issues or just want to increase your supply to freeze more breast milk, these cookies will help with that! I know there are teas that you can buy to do the same thing. But personally, I would take an Oatmeal Cookie over tea any day! I received this recipe from a friend who has a son the same age as mine. I will definitely be trying these after my next little one is born.
* 1 cup butter
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 4 tablespoons water
* 2 tablespoons linseed (flaxseed) meal
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 cups flour (whole wheat is best, but regular is ok)
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups oats, thick cut if you can get them
* 1 cup or more chocolate chips
* 2 tablespoons of brewers yeast (be generous)
Directions:
Preheat oven at 375 degrees F. Mix together 2 tablespoons of linseed meal and water, set aside for 3-5 minutes. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mix well. Stir linseed mixture and add with vanilla to the butter mix. Beat until blended. Sift together dry ingredients, except oats and chips. Add to margarine mixture. Stir in oats & chips. Scoop onto baking sheet greased or lined with baking paper.
Bake 8-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies. (shorter time = softer cookies, longer time = crispier cookies)
Serves: 6 dozen cookies (a huge batch)
I like Oatmeal Raisin cookies so I will probably try substituting the chocolate chips with raisins when I make these.
