I read in a cook book that kneading,mixing,beating a cookie mixture well is what makes all the difference to how crunchy and delicious the cookies turn out

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie These cookies use butter-flavored shortening, brown sugar, egg, milk, chocolate chips and an option of pecans or more chips. Ingredients: • 3/4 cup butter-flavor Crisco • 1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar • 2 Tbsp. milk • 1 Tbsp. vanilla • 1 egg • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour • 3/4 tsp. salt • 3/4 tsp. baking soda • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional) Method: Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine Crisco, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until creamy. Beat egg into creamed mixture. Combine flour, salt and baking soda and mix into creamed mixture until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips and pecan pieces. Drop by rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, 3 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 8 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies (cookies will still appear moist, but DO NOT OVERBAKE), or 11 to 13 minutes for crisp cookies. Cool on baking sheet about 2 minutes. Remove to cooling rack. Notes: The pecans are optional, but if omitted, increase the chocolate chips to 1 1/2 cups. Number of servings: 3 dozen cookies

Try using parchment paper under the cookies, especially if you are baking on a dark aluminum cookie sheet. It also helps to invest in an oven thermometer to test the temp to make sure it is accurate. If it's off even 25 degrees, your cookies could be getting over cooked. Do you take them off the baking sheet as soon as they start to cool? That is one way to ensire that they are going to be moist and not dry out.
