Lu and Bahlsen cookies are really, really good (French and German).

Yes, I have nightmares. Those are extremely overrated. Anything from the UK that comes with milk chocolate tastes slightly moldy. Never understood the appeal of Cadbury's. And for many European biscuits, you have to have them with a hot beverage, or else it feels like you're eating sawdust. See? Broad insults can go both ways.
For the rest, there are a bazillion kinds of cookies. Go to a good cookie swap at the holidays and everyone finds something that fits their palate.
You are lost.

I think if churches publicized this stuff more, they'd have a lot better attendance!

uneatable is actually a word and can be used in the place of inedible, FYI.

Reading this and wolfing down a white chocolate, cherry and macadamia nut cookie. 2 eggs in the batter. It's practically an omelet, y'all.

In my home, we have European biscuits for everyday purposes (cup of tea, before bed snack, etc.) and American cookies for special occasions. My grandmother disliked overly sweet things and passed her love for biscuits on to me. I buy a big box of Spanish or British biscuits once a month.

How many foods that have evolved thousands of miles apart are exactly the same? The US is an ever evolving melting pot to boot; maybe immigrants from (fill in the blank) heavily influenced the American cookie industry in the 19th century and that's why so many of our cookies contain eggs. But there is such a wide variety of immigrant traditions and influences and types of cookies in the US that I don't think we can be pigeonholed so easily.

If you mean why are American cookies and candies chewy while European ones are crunchy, some have said it's because Americans are childish. Or else it's just a matter of different taste.

Why do american cookies use so much egg in them vs. british, french, or italian cookies/biscuits?
It renders american cookies uneatable to be honest.
