So if one is good for my supply, 25 must be really good right? Just kidding. Kind of. They are tasty. Can you freeze the cookie dough or cookies? I'd love to make a couple batches before I go back to work to have for snacks. I usually cook or bake for consumption rather than extra for freezing, so not sure what works best.
Re: Lactation cookies
1 c butter
1cup sugar & 1 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp flax seed meal
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp brewers yeast (dietary supplement, not a baking yeast)
3 cups whole/old fashioned oats (not quick oats)
1cup chocolate chips (or raisins, nuts, craisins, etc.)
mix flaxseed with water and set aside 5 minutes. Cream butter and sugar and add eggs, vanilla, flaxseed mix. Add dry ingredients. Bake at 375 for 8-12 minutes.
Note recipe is high in fiber and may affect your system accordingly... But they are good!
To PP re lactose, there is no lactose in butter. Lactose is milk sugar, so you can look at the nutritional panel on dairy products; if there's no sugar, there's no lactose. I had to avoid lactose for many years as well. Instead of using chocolate chips, you could use the craisins. Another option might be cacao nibs.
