Lactation/ Oatmeal Cookies

Okay, so really this is supposed to be a snack for women that are nursing to help boost their supply and give them nutrients, but I thought these were awesome enough to post so that everyone can enjoy them. They are addicting and I couldn't stop eating them.....wait, maybe that's why you SHOULDN'T make them, but they have flaxseed in there so they have to be good for you, right?! I didn't put the brewers yeast in there because I was too lazy to run the heatlh food store running out of time. I also used toffee bits and butterscotch chips, because my baby doesn't like me to eat chocolate.
