Ok, I'll be completely honest...these are actually lactation cookies. Delicious lactation cookies!!
I had no idea how they would turn out or what they would even taste like, but they're really yummy-even though they taste a bit like Vegemite!!
I got the recipe off this site and had a bit of a play around with the recipe by adding in cranberries, almonds and a bit of coconut, then, in the last batch, I was a nit sneaky and added some dark chocolate. Those are treat ones!!
Mum and I had a lovely time preparing the photo shoot for the blog today, and certainly enjoyed testing the end product.
I suppose they are basically Anzacs with some additions to enhance lactation. The recipe would be delicious for those not breastfeeding too, probably just leave out the brewers yeast :)
Enjoy!!
Here are my yummy additions!!
Oh how I love my Kitchenaid! I creamed the butter and sugar in here before adding in the eggs one by one
I then threw in some almonds VERY roughly chopped, this way they have a deliciously crunchy texture.
I found that squashing the cookies down works best as they don't really change shape in the oven
Delicious with a cup of tea <3
Bec made some of these for one of our lunches, and she added white chocolate and dried cranberries as well. Yum!
