Cookies and cakes have essentially the same ingredients at their core (flour, sugar, egg, and some sort of fat). It is the proportion of these which determines the result. This is why putting too much liquid in your brownie mix will result in a cakey brownie.

It seems to me that a cake is spongier, while a cookie will become crisp after it cools
