Breastfeeding Cookies

These are full of fiber and brewer's yeast is a natural way to increase your milk supply, plus it's super-healthy!

-2 Tbsp flaxseed meal
-4 Tbsp water
-1 C butter (softened)
-1 C granulated sugar
-1 C brown sugar
-2 eggs
-1 Tsp vanilla
-2 C flour
-1 Tsp baking soda
-1 Tsp salt
-3 C oats
-1 C (or more to taste) dried cranberries (or cherries, raisins, or chocolate chips)
-2 Tbsp brewers yeast (be generous)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix flaxseed meal and water; let stand for 5 minutes. Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs one at a time, mix well. Stir flaxseed mixture and add with vanilla to creamed mixture. Beat until blended. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; add to mixture. Stir in oats, then cranberries, and finally brewers yeast. Scoop onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 8-12 minutes. Yields 6 dozen cookies.

You can wrap them in plastic wrap, and throw them into the freezer and then pull one pair out every day to keep from overindulging.
