The Cookie makers unionized in 1842. Splitting from the Bakies makers union. The Bakies makers union went on to spawn Fig Newtons, which are not cookies, but fruit and cake. Since then it has been a regional pride issue.

Because baking is a form of cooking!
Cook
1 : to prepare food for eating especially by means of heat
2 : to undergo the action of being cooked
3 : OCCUR, HAPPEN
Bake
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English bacan; akin to Old High German bahhan to bake, Greek phOgein to roast
transitive verb
1 : to cook (as food) by dry heat especially in an oven
2 : to dry or harden by subjecting to heat
intransitive verb

One says "how", the other describes the "method" but cookies are cooked by baking!

Its name derives from the Dutch word koekje which means little cake, and arrived in the English language through the Dutch in North America. It spread from American English to British English where biscuit is still the more general term
