Not the oatmeal cookies I grew up on and make now. They're fairly thin and crisp. They're the best, as far as I'm concerned.

No, crisp would be between hard and soft. When I think of hard cookies, I think of things like overcooked, dry or just plain bad homemade cookies or of many store-bought cookies like original Chips Ahoy. Chips Ahoy could double as hockey pucks.

I would classify as crispy a good shortbread, my aforementioned oatmeal cookies, tea cakes (hey, it's Christmastime, and they're the traditional Christmas cookies of my childhood) or a good gingerbread cookie. I would also include Oreos or Vienna Fingers.

What, you think just because you started this thread, you own it? You are not the boss of me.

Besides, I didn't even bring up how unappealing chocolate chip cookies are.
