How to make hard cookies?

Answer 1

For starters, it's a little bit more complicated than "just bake them longer".

Try baking them longer at a lower temperature. If the recipe calls for 10 minutes at 350F, try 12 or 13 minutes at 325F. With a small amount of experimentation, you should be able to get drier (thus, harder) cookies that are the same 'done-ness'.

Smaller cookies tend to be harder as well. I know we all love the huge monster cookies, but bite-size cookies have their pluses, too.

If you want to be certain of baking crisper cookies, check cookie recipies and be sure they describe the cookies as crisp.
