Lactation Cookies or just really healthy cookies that are DELISH!!

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp flax seed meal (I used Bob's Red Mill)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp brewer's yeast
3 cups rolled oats (not quick oats)
1 cup Ghiradelli white chocolate chips
1 cup golden raisins

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix flax seed meal and water and let sit for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, salt and brewer's yeast and set aside.

In a stand mixer, fitted with a flat beater, combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add eggs, mixing well after each one. Add flax seed meal and vanilla. Mix well. Slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture. Stir in oats. Fold in white chocolate chips and raisins.

Scoop rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Let sit on baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

ENJOY!
These cookies are kinda sweet, if you prefer less sweet cut the white chips and raisins in half. Do not try to low fat this recipe. I tried and yuck! They are really yummy, and the flax and brewers yeast are great for milk supply and overall health.
