Nicole, you rock so hard it's not even funny!! Thank you for this awesome recipe! Can't wait to try it!
ive made those several times, passed them out to mamas having a hard time getting their supplies up, etc. it's a fantastic gift for mama's who just had babies ive found :)
Mmm. I was just thinking about homemade cookies tonight. I can't have them right now due to the unpleasant indigestion issues in my 8th month of pregnancy. BUT, now I have this to look forward to.
I plan to replace use some agave instead of all that sugar and get as unrefined and organic as possible in the ingredient list.
Thank you for the tip on lactation support in the form I am craving!
My mom's a CLC & NICU nurse, and my Dad's a psychologist...they're both big on nutrition. She recommends oatmeal cookies for lactation, and he recommends them to combat anxiety! A winner for sure. ;)
Christine - there are SOOOO many options for making this more whole/organic and healthy... Agave, Applesauce, etc...
And I am ALLLL about satisfying cravings ladies! :o)
Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to pass this onto my clients!
