Jumpstart Your Labor Cookies

I have been hearing so much about these "Jumpstart Your Labor Cookies" that it has me curious. I have been reading up lots on Lactation cookies and those truly serve a purpose and help to boost milk supply. But what about these "Labor" cookies? 

The common thought is that certain spices such as cloves, cinnamon, & cayenne can actually get you into labor-if spice is your trigger. Every lady is different. I have read success stories and have read stories where these just do not work.

Hmmm. Never hurts to try! I will probably make a cleaner version using whole wheat or coconut flour and substitute the sugars for Stevia or Truvia, and nix the butter, using coconut oil instead.

Who doesn't like cookies??
