Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies

Bake some for your nursing mommy friends as a gift!

I made these cookies while Cameron was a month old just as an extra measure to keep my milk supply up for him. They're delicious and taste like ordinary oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I also added a cup of dried cherries because we love them in our house. I'd take out the brewer's yeast to make them non-lactation cookies.
