    Over the past 10 weeks (I REALLY can’t believe how quickly time has gone!!) I have lost count of the amount of times that I have made these Cranberry Almond and White Chocolate Lactation Cookies.

    Cranberry Almond and White Chocolate Lactation Cookies

    Along with this recipe, I’ve also been making a Chocolate Chip, Coconut and Date Lactation Biscuit recipe I discovered when Mr 3 was a baby, so between the two I’ve had plenty to snack on!  A batch of these biscuits normally last me around a week as I normally snack on a couple of them for afternoon tea to help with the feeding frenzy which generally begins in the early evening.

    Touch wood, but so far my supply has been pretty good this time around and our breastfeeding journey has been quite smooth (touch wood) apart from one spell of mastitis early on.  When I mention to people that I’m eating lactation biscuits, they always ask me if they actually work, and I honestly think they do help give my supply a little boost after I’ve been eating them regularly for a couple of days.

    Cranberry Almond and White Chocolate Lactation Cookies

    You can certainly mix it up when it comes to adding dried fruit/nuts/chocolate to these biscuits, just make sure you don’t leave out the Brewers Yeast, Flaxseed and Oats as these are the main ingredients to help your supply. Another variation I’ve tried is adding trail mix instead of the chocolate, almonds and cranberries and I’ve even had to resort to hiding these biscuits in the pantry as both my husband and the boys LOVE to eat them too, and while I don’t mind sharing, my appetite is still out of control and I have NOT been happy to discover they have been all gone on several occasions!

        Hi, these are a softer biscuit, however you can cook them for a few extra minutes to make them crispier. I hope that helps 🙂

      Hi Lauren,
      I don’t have Thermomix, am using Kenwood stand mixer, is it the same method to mix the ingredients?
      Thanks,

      May I know if replace the wholemeal flour with All Purpose Flour, will it be the same?
      if we prefer the texture is crispy type, which flour we should use?
      Do you have the recipe in grams?

        Hi Autumn, you can certainly use plain instead of wholemeal flour. I use Australian metric measurements – 150 grams = 1 cup of flour.

          Hi Lauren,
          Thanks for replying! So, if we prefer the cookies to be more crispy, which flour you would suggest?
          Sorry for so many questions.
          Love,

      I made a batch of these yesterday. They actually taste better than a popular brand lactation cookie that retails for $25 for 10 Boobie Biscuits. They’ve been great to have on hand for my first breakfast, as I struggle to find time to eat while juggling the morning newborn feed whilst also managing my toddler.
      I’ll be making these again, and they were really simple in the Thermomix.
