Baking is actually different from cooking. I know, we use the terms as if they're the same, but let me explain the difference. 'Baking' is a reference to the making of breads, cakes, pastries and the like. Cookies fall under this category. This is because 'baking' originated with bakers.
Cooking, on the other hand, is more general. Languages, at first, didn't have one name for all types of cooking. in fact, the 'cook' came before 'cooking'. It really gained momentum in the 1950's, when the 'cookout' became popular.
