Cookies for a Pirate {Lactation Aid}

Who knew that there is such a thing as Lactation Cookies? I certainly didn't remember that from the 4 (combined) years that I was pregnant and lactating with my boys. But a good friend - and new mom - joked that she had an assignment for me. Well, she was joking, but I am always up for a culinary challenge. So, I started with one of the recipes from the justbreastfeeding website - the lactation cookies for nut lovers.

As for the post title...well, we call her adorable little boy "the pirate" because he sometimes views the world around him, grumpily, through one eye. Did I mention that he's adorable?!? He's the cutest lil' pirate you'll ever see! Hope the pirate's mom likes these...
