Steps:
- Cut each piece of string cheese in half so you have 2 shorter sticks. Working one at a time, make 4 cuts vertically in one end of the cheese sticks, stopping about 3/4 inch from the top. Roll the cheese so the cuts are not parallel to the cutting board, and make 2 or 3 more cuts to form the bristles of the broom. Press a pretzel stick into the uncut end of the cheese stick to make the handle. Tie a chive in the middle of top (uncut) end of the cheese stick; this holds the broom head together. Repeat for the remaining brooms.
- Spread the mustard haphazardly on the bottom of a black or white plate. Stand the brooms up on their bristles as if they are sweeping up the mustard.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the nuts and oats.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the nuts and oats by hand, but it will take longer.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving, as this will help them to firm up.
