Uh oh....looks like you've combined two separate euphemisms! One is actually "one hard nut to crack" & can pertain to a person or situation that's hard to convince or resolve. The other is "one tough cookie" , a close-mouthed type, obstinate, or no-nonsense type, then that person may be a "hard nut to crack." Hope that helps!

It means you're tough. Usually said to women. I don't know why they use the word "cookie" but it's a pretty old expression. They used that back in movies in the 1930s always about a woman who is tough. I think it means you are tough but still feminine.

I've heard of "a tough cookie" and "a hard nut to crack"--but never of the one to which you refer.

I believe the expression is "one tough nut to crack.", and it refers to the difficulty of getting someone to talk or admit to something.

It means you are NOT going to get any information out of that person unless you are persistent.
