The print version of the recipe still calls for 1 egg and 1 egg yolk, despite the note that you now prefer using 2 whole eggs. Not a game changer either way, but it’s well past time for an update.

These cookies are AMAZING! They were a big hit with everyone in my house. The ONLY thing I did differently was adding some roasted hazelnuts to it. I will be using this recipe again 🙂

Typos… but they really are the best. Came back to say I make these often and they’re always a crowd favorite! I have some chilling right now for an after supper treat.

In reply to joan. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Joan! Is it possible your oven was running hot? Did you make your dough balls the same size as mine?

could not taste the pancake syrup sadly and the cookie was really dry and crunchy-baked 11 minutes

In reply to Shruti. Hi Shruti! Unfortunately I have not experimented with doing this so I can't say for sure how it would turn out. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. :)

Since lactation cookies are basically oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with brewers yeast & flax meal, and all your cookie recipes always turn out perfect for me, I wanted to modify this recipe by adding 1/4c brewers yeast an 2-3 tbsp flax meal. Any advice on how to do that? Was going to try subbing out the flour…

Also, would love to see an official “lactation” cookie recipe from you! This is the first time I’ve googled a cookie recipe on your website and NOT found it!

I made these last night and baked them today and they are amazing! I added 3/4 cup (90 grams) of chopped walnuts and 1 1/4 cup of a combo of milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips because I made the ‘WORST’ chocolate chip cookies first.
Thank you so much for all your delicious recipes!

I read a number of recipes before choosing this one. The cookies came together easily and they taste great. I only wish I had seen your comment about using the 2 eggs instead of following the recipe exactly. I’m gifting half a batch to our sick neighbors.

In reply to Janis Van. Hi Janis! The old fashioned oats will give your cookies a chewier and heartier cookie, but the instant oats will work. :)

I made these last night. OH MY GOSH….AWESOME! I ended up baking them 13 minutes first batch, but then 14 minutes the last couple batches. They have various wonderful flavors popping all over my tastebuds sending me into ‘close your eyes’ so good territory. The texture is great. A little crispy on the outside, but softer on the insider. Love these. Now hopefully they will be as good today as they were last night. I have them stored in a tight lid plastic container.

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run. Hi, Sam. Would melted butter work for this recipe instead? Thanks
