Yep. I always stir the dough with a spoon, not a mixer, and there's always
lots of little lumps left.  Haven't had a bad batch in years.  Also, I
always check each batch after about 5 minutes in the oven - As it gets
hotter, cooking times get less, and this also helps keep'em chewy.

Raffaella, who's happy friends get cookies from her every year at x-mas
