What are Boobie Biscuits?
Boobie biscuits are lactation cookies used to increase milk supply for nursing mothers. The ingredients used in these cookies are galactagogues which are foods that help to establish and/or build up a mother’s milk supply.
Recipe Highlights
- Tons of flavor in these cookies hide the nasty taste of brewer’s yeast.
- Literally the best cookies you’ll ever taste.
- Can freeze for later.
- Easy to eat while nursing.
- Can increase milk supply.
How to Make Boobie Biscuits
These boobie biscuits have a fun twist with maple extract, toffee bits, and a generous sprinkle of sea salt. The bread flour is what gives these cookies the perfect texture.
Enjoy these cookies while you’re nursing your sweet baby to boost your lactation.
Ingredients
All-purpose flour & bread flour – This is the key to getting the perfect textured cookie – mixing bread flour in with your all-purpose flour.
Baking powder – Your leavening agent
Flakey sea salt – I use Maldon’s brand
Brewers yeast – one of the galactagogues in this cookie that’ll help with milk supply. Get some here.
Salted butter – Another key to ridiculously good chocolate chip cookies – using salted butter to bring out the flavors in everything else.
Organic brown sugar & cane sugar – Heavy on the brown sugar lighter on the cane sugar makes for a rich and tasty cookie.
Egg – Binds your cookies together.
Ground flax seed – Another galactagogue in this recipe that you’ll use to make a flax egg to further help bind the ingredients.
Maple extract – Maple extract is another secret ingredient to perfect chocolate chip cookies. Get yours here (you can also use vanilla if you prefer).
Walnuts or pecans – The choice is yours – either way, raw nuts are great for your milk supply.
Chocolate chips – Using a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips is delicious if you have both on hand.
Toffee bits – These get slightly melty in the oven and caramelize the cookie.
Instructions
- Make your flax egg and set in fridge to set up.
- Preheat oven on convection to 350 degrees f (if you don’t have convection bake is fine).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl whisk dry ingredients.
- In a stand mixer, whisk the sugars and butter until combined. Then add your egg, flax egg, and maple extract.
- Add your dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Fold in the nuts, chocolate chips, and toffee.
- Scoop dough a little larger than golf balls and roll into a ball, then slightly flatten and put on baking sheet. Do this until you fill up the baking sheet with dough evenly spaced.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes until browned on the edges.
- Immediately after pulling out of oven, sprinkle with flakey sea salt and let cool on the baking sheet until set then transfer to a cooling rack.
How to Store Boobie Biscuits
Room temperature
Store your boobie biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freezer
Freeze your boobie biscuits in an airtight container or plastic bag for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature or heat up until nice and warm.
Bakers Tips
Bake on convection – You know that button on your oven that says convection? Probably the one you never use? We’re using it now!
Convection uses a fan to rotate the heat in the oven so whatever you’re baking gets evenly crispy. This is what we want for these cookies!
Don’t chill dough – This cookie dough does not need to be chilled! I know, I know – most delicious cookie recipes call to chill the dough prior to baking.
This is meant to control the spread. Since these are meant to be large cookies, they end up spreading perfectly without chilling.
How do Boobie Biscuits Increase Milk Supply?
The ingredients I call for in this recipe are very strategic – they are either amazing galactagogues (increasing milk supply) or they help to mask the flavor of brewer’s yeast and add to the delicious flavor of the biscuits.
- Brewers yeast – This galactagogue contains iron, folic acid, and protein and for that reason is one of the most popular ingredients to increase milk supply.
- Ground flax seeds – Aside from being a galactagogue, flax seeds contain healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants.
How else can I increase my milk supply?
Boobie biscuits and other lactation foods are a great way to support your milk supply in addition to the below tips for increasing milk supply.
- Do lots of skin-to-skin with your baby
- Feed on-demand
- Pump after feedings to stimulate more milk production
- Try power pumping
- Get enough calories in your diet (especially protein) based on your own body/needs
- Eat and drink whole, raw dairy
- Hydrate and replenish your mineral stores with coconut water and orange juice
- Stay active with light exercise
- Keep stress levels low
- Eat within 30 minutes of waking up
- Eat a high-protein snack before going to bed
- Trust that your body CAN do it!
