Lactation Cookies

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Mix flaxseed meal with water in a small bowl and let soak for 5 minutes.

Step 3
Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Add egg yolks and vanilla extract; beat to incorporate. Stir in flaxseed mixture.

Step 4
Mix flour, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar, in a separate bowl.

Step 5
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in oats and chocolate chips.

Step 6
Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto a baking sheet.

Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
