If you are a pumping mama did lactation cookies help your supply? I tried to make some today but I should probably follow the method and not just toss the ingredients in a bowl next time. They didn't turn out great.
ETA - but those that survived were still yummy! I used this recipe: http://www.bellybelly.com.au/breastfeeding/breastmilk-supply-increase-breastmilk-lactation-cookie-recipe#.UjYLF8u9KSP

I am not making cookies but I buy lactation cookies on amazon. They helped with my supply going back to work. At the very least they are yummy for breakfast

I can't say it helped. I had chronic low supply issues, which medication might have helped if I had gone to the doctor sooner:(
But, I made them (a ton!) and they were very good. I froze half the bath and will eat with baby #2.

@swedishfish: I don't EP, but I do pump regularly. Those are the same ones I make and I love them! The Brewer's yeast is the magic ingredient. If you can tolerate it, the BY mixed in a smoothie (1-2 tbsp) literally makes me leak within an hour! I always take some of that when my supply seems like it needs help or if I need to pump to leave bottles if I'll be away.
