Now I don’t know about you, but when judging whether a cookie is “the best,” I judge by the TASTE! When it comes to lactation cookies, taste goes without saying, BUT you also want them to actually work. These babies, are both yummy (slightly addicting too) and they’ve got that milk boosting punch you need!

A quick side note for our tribe: We are all about mutually beneficial relationships here at the Newlymoms. So naturally, this article may contain affiliate links. This means that if you were to use the links provided and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you). We only promote products we use, love, and/or fully support — it’s a win, win, win! If you have any questions about what we use, love and/or support, please reach out to us via our contact page.

In addition to them being sooooo delicious, they’re made with healthy ingredients (minus the butter– but you gotta live a little), so they’re not as bad as your average sugary fat-filled cookie. Not to mention, but they’re also pretty easy and quick to make — which is HUGE especially for a new mama. I’m all over anything that saves me time and is super easy.

So without further adieu I bring you:
