I was on a mission to create a lactation cookie that tastes good, is soft (as long as you don't overbake it) and full of goodness without allergens. The other problem is that a lot of them have too much refined sugar and are made with flours that I never bake with anyhow. I don't care how good something is for me, if a recipe creator describes their lactation cookies as dry and hard, I'm not into it. The thing with lactation cookies is most of them are dry and hard.
