These cookies are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. They contain some special ingredients: Brewers Yeast and Flaxseed meal to help with lactation. They really do work and I try to eat 2-3 a day to help with my supply. I also eat them while not nursing and sometimes just leave out the Brewer’s Yeast. They are delicious and I love that they’re loaded with a lot of healthy ingredients!
I found the original recipe at Simply Real Moms, you can check it out here: RECIPE
