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!
