"Moist" in baked goods isn't related to water. It's related to fat. If you use a hard fat, such as butter or lard, you end up with a crispier cookie. If you use a liquid oil, you end up with a softer cookie. If you use an oil that's been hydrogenated, partially or fully, you end up with trans fats which make your cookies more dangerous than cigarettes. In the 1980s, they started selling "soft" cookies in grocery stores. These used corn syrup instead of sugar. They also tasted pretty lousy. Butter is 80% fat, 20% water, and when you're baking, the water evaporates. Not a very good result. Lard works better. The best pie crusts are made from lard, too. Be sure not to overbake the cookies. And make sure you have plenty of ice-cold milk.
