Lactation Cookies Gift Jar

I made this as a gift for a soon-to-be breastfeeding momma, with just a few simple additions (hopefully from a helpful hubby!) these cookies are a delicious treat that also support milk production!



Here is what I included in the jar: 
1/4 cup brown sugar 
1/2 cup sugar
1 TSP cinnamon 
Dash of nutmeg 
1/2 TSP baking soda 
1/4 TSP salt 
1 cup oats
2 TBSP brewer's yeast
2 TSBP ground flaxseed 
1/2 cup raisins 

Here is the directions on the note:
Add:
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 TSP vanilla 
1 stick of butter 
Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet, bake @350 for ~10min 

Breastfeeding can be so challenging at the beginning so I hope that these cookies are just one more little (yummy) piece of encouragement to help her stick with it!

Some babies do not do well with chocolate so I would avoid including any chocolate, but for a change you can mix it up with toffee chunks or craisins!
