Lactation Cookies

All the ingredients together.  I made lactation cookies (milk production encouraging cookies) Basically just healthy-er.  I plan to deliver some along with the onesie to the Momma I recently doula'd for.

I found the recipe at the Peaceful Parenting website.  You can find a wealth of information related to breastfeeding support as well as a lot of other parenting ideas.

Not only did I make cookies, but since my daughter helped I made some wonderful memories.  One of her favorite things to do is crack eggs. 

The only variation I made in the recipe was using steel cut oats.  I didn't have any rolled oats.  I know that steel cut oats take a lot longer than rolled so I used the water for the recipe, heated, and added to the oats a couple hours before making the batter to soften them up.  Not sure how they would have turned out otherwise but I think it worked great.
