Double Chocolate Chunk Lactation Cookies

As you all know, we had our son 4 months ago.  Often during a growth spurt, it may be hard to keep up with his demand to nurse.  Today I whipped up a batch of Chocolate Chunk Lactation Cookies filled with goodies to help boost my milk supply.  Of course, I’m not a doctor, however these always work for me!  Many midwives say oats, coconut oil, flaxseed, and Brewer’s yeast can all help.  Of course we have to throw in the chocolate to make it taste extra great!  These are some of my favorite cookies!
