Chewy Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

This is what happens when you have a lot of oatmeal, oat bran, and spelt flour you need to use up. I would estimate this recipe made somewhere between 100-200 cookies, though it felt like much more. I recommend cutting the recipe down to half or a quarter if you haven't got at least a few hours free, or if you don't want large quantities of cookies.
