Milo’s Milk Lactation Cookies
It’s baby season & I’ve been getting a few requests for my lactation cookie recipe! I figured it’s time I share it with you all!
Let me preface by telling you that “regular” people have tasted & enjoyed them, husbands/doormen/friends alike! I’ll be honest, the brewer’s yeast is a weird ingredient for those who aren’t lactating but whatevs! I literally tried to fit all the ingredients that I found were good to increase supply in these cookies & that’s how they came to be!
Also, I originally made these for my friend Michal who had a low supply for her new baby Milo! So I call them Milo’s Milk Cookies! I can’t say for certain that they work but any mom that has tried them said they’re great for a filling snack when they were ravenous or wanted something hearty and or just to snack on!
Little secret: they go great with a schmear of nut butter or granola butter! Thank me later!
PS – If you are in NYC & don’t feel like baking your own, I also sell them! Email me!
