[quote=Anonymous]loved lactation cookies, I added cinnamon to the recipe below and would freeze the dough in cookie sized balls so I could bake a few at a time. the original recipe I got from my midwives at wisdom midwifery, but the below adaptation was in the Washington post a couple months ago. I really like the addition of peanut butter and Apple sauce. the original recipe is dry and hard to mix.

Ingredients (Try to use organic ingredients wherever possible)

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup oats
1/2 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 cup nutritional yeast (not baker's yeast, but the yellow flakes)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup raw sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup applesauce
8 tablespoons peanut butter
2 cups dark chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Makes 40 cookies

Mix the flour, oats, flax seeds, nutritional yeast, baking soda and salt.

Cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla, then beat in the eggs, applesauce and peanut butter one at a time. Combine the two mixes, then add dark chocolate chips and walnuts.

Put batter in refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. Roll out ping-pong-sized balls and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake at 350 F for about 11 minutes until there's light cracking in the surface of the cookies. Do not overbake; you want to keep them soft. Place on racks to cool. Enjoy with a large glass of cold organic milk after 20 minutes while cookies are still warm.[/quote]
