***
A tough cookie is a person who is able to deal with difficult situations and not be easily intimidated, discouraged, or defeated

***
The phrase “that’s the way the cookie crumbles” is an informal idiom. It is used when something unfortunate or unfavorable has happened, and it implies that one must accept things as they are. In other words, when faced with an undesirable situation, we should recognize that life sometimes unfolds in unexpected ways, and we must adapt accordingly.

For instance, imagine you didn’t get a job you wanted. You might feel disappointed, but saying “that’s the way the cookie crumbles” acknowledges that sometimes life doesn’t go as planned, and we must move forward despite setbacks.

Remember, just like a crumbled cookie cannot be uncrumbled, certain events are beyond our control, and we must accept them gracefully.
