(Add four tablespoons of Brewer's yeast to make these into lactation cookies)
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 cups plain uncooked oats, I used Red Mill's thick oats
- 4 tablespoons ground flax seed meal
- 4 tablespoons almond powder (optional)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature or melt it in microwave for 30-60 seconds
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit
Step 2: Beat butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl, I used electric hand mixer. Add eggs and mix, followed by flax seed powder, vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda.
Step 3: Mix in oats and wheat flour. Add chocolate chips (optional) and mix.
Step 4: Place parchment paper on a baking tray, scoop balls of dough (depending on the size of cookie you want) and place them on the baking tray. Flatten these balls a little with your hand.
Step 5: Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6: Place cookies on a cooling rack and put it in a airtight jar once cooled.
