Lactation cookies


Little fun fact about lactation cookies-any cookie can be considered lactation cookie if you add brewer’s yeast, oats and flax seeds!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (you can use organic virgin coconut oil instead if you prefer)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (if you want to reduce sugar, you could try just 1/2 cup)
  • 1 egg (applesauce is a great substitute for egg – our fans suggest using 1/2 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavour)
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 2-3 tablespoons of water (depends on how moist you prefer the cookies to be)
  • 1 cup self raising wholemeal flour (if you have plain flour, add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for flavour)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of brewers yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 & 1/2 cups organic oats

OPTIONAL: 1/2 cup of chocolate chips

 

Directions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar, then add the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flaxseed and water, let them sit for a few minutes before adding to mix.
  • Add the dry ingredients (apart from the oats and your additional ingredients) and mix well again.
  • Stir in the oats and your additional ingredients (chocolate chips etc).
  • Using a dessert spoon, scoop the mixture into your hand and roll it into a ball.
  • Place the biscuits onto a lightly greased tray or line the tray with baking paper. Flatten them a little with your fingers or a spatula. If you like a soft centre, don’t squash them down too much.
  • Bake the lactation cookies for around 10-12 minutes, depending on how well cooked or crunchy you like your biscuits.
