I have been looking for a long time for an oatmeal cookie recipe that comes out moist and chewy. I finally found one, but of course, I had to tweak it a little (well, a lot) to make it even more delicious.
These oatmeal cookies are awesome, especially fresh out of the oven.

Creme these together with a hand mixer, be fine??
That would be fine, as long as your hand mixer has a strong motor.
