Recommend your lactation cookie recipe

This is the recipe I used. Not sure it helped. I'm going to try another batch.

1 cup self raising wholemeal flour (if you have plain flour, add 1/2 tsp baking powder) 1/2 cup low fat butter (for a healthier option, use organic, virgin coconut oil instead which is super good for you!) 3/4 cup brown sugar (if wanting to reduce sugar, you could try just 1/2 cup) 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (can be found at any local health food store or on Amazon) 1 egg 2-3 tablespoons of water (depends if you prefer moister cookies) 1 tablespoon vanilla (optional, for flavour) 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for flavour) 1-2 tablespoons of brewers yeast (do not substitute with bakers yeast or any other yeast). 1/2 teaspoon salt (use himalayan salt if possible) 1 & 1/2 cups oats (get the thicker cut oats if you can) OPTIONAL: 1/2 cup of your fave biscuit ingredients (see suggested list below).

    i've made the below recipe many times. it's from king arthur flour whole grain baking (i added in the yeast and flax). i liked that they use oat flour and rolled oats for a double dose of oatiness. they are really tasty and filling, so if nothing else they make a good one-handed snack for while you're nursing. they also freeze well. i can't really quantify if they increased my supply or not. unfortunately my husband was constantly poaching them!

    Nutty for Oats (Lactation) Cookies
    Makes 38 cookies

    2/3 cup smooth peanut butter
    4 tbsp (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
    3/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar (cut back to 1/2 cup to make them less sweet)
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp baking soda
    2 large eggs
    1 cup oat flour (or old fashioned rolled oats, ground for 30 seconds in a food processor)
    1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
    1/4 cup nutritional yeast
    1/4 cup ground flaxseed
    2 cups chocolate chips

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.

    Cream the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat in the eggs, scraping the bowl once they're incorporated, then the oat flour, old fashioned rolled oats, yeast, flaxseed, and chocolate chips. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheets.

    Bake the cookies, reversing the pans midway through, until they're barely set and just beginning to brown around the edges, 11 to 13 minutes (do not overbake). Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the pans.
