The two things menioned will make the dough retain its moisture while baking and will keep the cookie chewy. The other trick is to let the gluten develop in the flour (overwork the dough).
and Flybye, could please post your recipe, I might be able to fix it for you. 
And if anyone wants a package of pumpkin pie oatmeal cookie, please let me know. I will send you a package of the pumpkin pie oatmal cookies. The only drawback is that I have to do this at home and not at a commercial kitchen.
