Cookies and Milk

With all the choices out there for lactation cookies on the web we needed to have a taste test to see who won out in our opinion. Just because we are no longer nursing our children doesn't mean we don't like a good healthy cookie on occasion.

We mixed, and stirred, and baked until our hearts were content and our stomachs cried no more!

We found that some ingredients you could get at any local grocery store and some we needed to find at a health food store (local to our area Alternative Health Food Store is sure to have Brewer's Yeast). The initial cost to purchase all of the supplies was a bit more than your regular chocolate chip cookies but what we found is that you could make multiple batches of cookies so cost per dozen ended up being very minimal.

Are you ready for the good part?

The cookies that won our taste test were......
