The term "good cookie" takes on different meanings to different people. Some people like crunchy cookies and others like soft and chewy cookies. Some like cake-like cookies and other like fruity cookies.
But, generally speaking, however they had them for the first time, is how they expect that cookie to be - for instance, an Oatmeal Cookie. If it was crispy - THAT is how all other Oatmeal cookies should be to them (unless the next tastes even better but it's hard to beat "Mom's cooking").
Normally the cookie should not be too flat - should be rounded in the middle, should snap if it's crispy or bend and break if it's chewy. If it has nuts, there should be enough of them to have a piece in every bite. The cookies should be big enough to get a good taste of the cookie but not so big that it's a full meal. Too much in a cookie can be as bad as not enough - like 1 raisin or 40 raisins in one cookie.
The cookie should be golden brown in all cookies except sugar, shortbread, and spritz cookies - which should just be lightly tinged golden around the edges. I'm sure there are other kinds out there that fall into the "golden- around- the-edges" kind.
It should taste good - not too much baking powder or soda. Not too many spices that muddy the flavor but enough to hint at a particular flavor in one bite and a hint of another in the second bite.
Hope that helps.

I like to experiment. You can put anything you want in a cookie. You can make any kind of cookie your little heart desires. My secret is to watch the cookie and take it out of the oven just moments before it's 100% cooked. I also like to bake them about 10 degrees less than normal for whatever cookie you are baking. It takes about five minutes longer, but the cookie is slow-cooked. MMMMMMMM!

Mrs Fields' are exact opposite. Moist without being solid lard. Oatmeal and Oatmeal Raisin rocks for me!
