Lactation cookies

Ok so I take no credit for this recipe, I got it from another website but have completely forgotten which one so I can't post the link. But here it is anyway!

Ingredients:

* 250g butter or marg
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons LSA
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 cups flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups rolled 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.
- Cream (beat well) butter or marg and sugar.
- Add eggs one at a time, mix well.
- Add vanilla and LSA. Beat until blended.
- Add dry ingredients, except oats and chips.
- Stir in oats then chips.
- Scoop or drop onto baking sheet, preferably lined with baking paper, and flatten slightly. The dough is a little crumbly, so it helps to use a scoop. (Or be prepared to get very sticky fingers.)
- Bake approx 10 minutes.

Makes 6 dozen cookies.

Like I posted in the July thread I seem to have more milk after making them, but I've been making a real effort to stay hydrated so it could be a complete coincidence. They taste pretty good though (but VERY sweet - next time I make them I think I might cut down a little on the brown sugar) so I'm happy to have the lactation boosting excuse

just bumped the lactation fudge recipe too....

yeah me too whats LSA sheena needs this receipe.

hi guys, I also found this version on here and was wondering if anyone had tried both which was best

Lactation Boosting Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip & Flaxseed cookies

1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup white or demerrera sugar

2 tablespoons flaxseed meal - you can use L..S.A or ground sunflower seeds
1 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 fistful flaked almonds or almond chips
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large organic free range eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence – try not to use imitation
2 cups wholemeal flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups oats, thick cut if you can get them. Harraways do an organic whole oat

Anyone know a recipe with no brewers yeast?? Or is that super important?

Where do you get brewer's yeast from? I looked in supermarkets but nothing...

I got mine from the bulk bin at pak n save of all places. 

 

For some reason my linky thing wont work properly but I found these  places online that sell it too.

I have seen it at New World in Albany SpecialK and the Health2000 near the foodcourt at Glenfield... think New World had it cheaper though. They both have the LSA too

Me!!!! I loved them, DP even said these boobie bickies are good!!

I didn't really like them - probably because I'm pretty sure they are adapted from one of my favourite childhood recipes only they now have quite a different taste and texture.

Anyway, they did make a noticable difference to my supply, so I adapted another recipe which I find is much nicer.

T-Rex's lactation slice:
2 c wholegrain oats
1 c rolled oats
1 c flour
2 t baking powder
1 c sugar
1 c coconut
1/2 c LSA
2 T brewers yeast
2 T golden syrup
225 g margarine (I'm dairy free, but I'm sure butter would work)

Combine dry ingredients. Melt margarine and golden syrup together then pour into dry ingredients. Mix. Press into a slice tin and bake at 160 degrees celsius until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Cool completely before removing from tin.

If you don't have wholegrain oats you can use 4c rolled oats in total and leave out the flour.
