Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Since I am still breastfeeding, I have been looking for oatmeal cookie recipe to boost up my milk supply. It’s taken me a few times to perfect this recipe and now I am sharing it with you. I’ve added as little sugar as I could without taking the “cookie” taste away, and I’ve opted for a mixture white and 100% whole wheat flour without making them too healthy.

This is one of my favourite cookie recipes. If I am looking for a healthy and delicious snack, this will be my first choice. Also, my son fully approves of this recipe and I am sure your kids will love it too! Don’t forget to pair these cookies with a glass of milk and cut up fruit for a healthy yet yummy snack.

Enjoy !!

Notes

To prepare oatmeal cookies with ground flaxseed, replace 1 tbsp (15 mL) of margarine with 1 tbsp water and 3 tbsp of ground flaxseed for the low flaxseed cookie. Or replace 2.5 tbsp (40 mL) of margarine with 2.5 tbsp of water and 7.5 tbsp of ground flaxseed for the high flaxseed cookie.
