These tasty morsels came into my life after my first son Roland.  I was struggling with my milk supply and my mom sent me this recipe.   I don’t even know where this cookie recipe originated from as I only have a cut & paste recipe on a 10 person deep email chain.  So I guess I’ll claim them as my own lol.  These soon became my husband’s favorite cookies and I have continued to make these for him well after my breastfeeding days were gone…in fact I think a batch of these are in order!   My husband will even bring a bag of these bad boys to work and pass them out to the guys.  Lol.  It’s the brewer’s yeast, flax seed meal and oatmeal that contribute to increasing a mother’s milk supply.  Maybe it’s just an old wives tale.  But for now, I will go ahead and take any excuse to eat a delicious cookie.
