Ingredients for about 16 cookies:
- 290 g of flour
- 25 g of brewer’s yeast
- 75 g of cane sugar
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of five-spice powder
- 160 g of butter
- 2 eggs
- 170 g of dark chocolate chunks
- A handful of nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, pecans, according to your taste)
| Ingredient | Benefits for Breastfeeding |
|---|---|
| Brewer’s Yeast | Rich in B vitamins and minerals, it stimulates milk production and improves the nutritional quality of breast milk. |
| Nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, pecans, etc.) | These provide healthy fats and proteins, helping to maintain sufficient milk production and providing essential nutrients for the baby. |
| Cinnamon and Five-Spice Powder | Can help regulate blood sugar and offer anti-inflammatory benefits for the postpartum mother. |
| Dark Chocolate | Provides magnesium and antioxidants, promoting overall well-being for the breastfeeding mother. |
Preparation:
- Oven Preheating: Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) with a fan setting.
- Preparing the Dry Ingredients: Weigh all the dry ingredients: flour, brewer’s yeast, baking powder, cinnamon, and five-spice powder. Mix them in a large bowl.
- Adding the Butter: Add the butter to the dry ingredients. If you’re using a mixer like KitchenAid, be prepared for a bit of cleanup afterward!
- Incorporating the Eggs: Add the eggs to the mixture and blend well until you get a homogeneous dough.
- Adding the Chocolate and Nuts: Chop the dark chocolate. For a more indulgent texture, leave the chunks fairly large. Add them to the dough, then do the same with your choice of nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, pecans, etc.).
- Forming the Cookies: Shape small balls of dough about 4-5 cm in diameter, flatten them slightly, and place them on a baking sheet, spacing them well apart. You should get about 16 cookies.
- Baking: Bake the cookies for 18 minutes. They should be golden and well-cooked.
