Lactation cookies recipe

Tiffany's Mommy Milk Cookies

This is a recipe I found combined with what I actually did to make the cookies. You don't have to put them in the fridge overnight, but it helped soften the steel cut oats when I did. Without doing that you will just wind up with very crunchy cookies. Note, these aren't very sweet cookies. My recipe uses about half the sugar of the original recipe because I unintentionally doubled the amount of cookies my dough would be making. I prefer them this way though. I didn't want super sweet cookies. I added extra liquids to mine while I was making it because the dough was too dry, and I made note of those in the recipe.
