Not a baker...

Just like the title says, I'm not a baker.  I wanted to make some lactation cookies because I haven't been producing enough ever since my baby started eating solids and everyday stress has been getting more stressful.  So I decided to make some cookies!  Not just any cookies but lactation ones and I found this recipe that swears it works.  I decided to give it a go.  Well the ingredients were hard to come by and very expensive, I mean where in the world can you find wholemeal self rising flour?!  Well I can tell you that it wasn't at wholefoods and the brewer's yeast price can just go to hell!  I bought it anyways.  So I needed help finding the flour and a nice guy that works at wholefoods helped me out.  Well it turns out that I didn't get the self rising one and I looked up what I can do to make it.  I was already home and I sure as heck did not want to go back out to buy baking powder.  Anyways I made them.  There's a reason for the self-rising flour.  My cookies turned out flat and tasted disgusting oh and I used steel cut oats instead of rolled oats.  Yeah, disaster.  So I tempted to try again and this time I used coconut flour...Nope was even worse!  I gave up.  I went to bring back the flour to wholefoods and a different person helped me out.  I didn't want my money back I just wanted flour that worked.  He suggested I should try one of those all in one package cookies.  The one that has all the ingredients in it  and just add the brewers yeast.  He told me that was just a suggestion so I took him up on it.  Holy dear!  It worked!  But next time I'll just use 1 tablespoon of brewers yeast.  Who knew?
