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.
egg, flour, and have to experiment with proportions, I'm guessing. The smoothie was oats, walnuts, bananas, plain yogurt & half a kiwi. (I think I'll not be an idiot and use water instead of kiwi next time. I had to add a teaspoon of brown sugar to make up for that. I just thought it looked like fun). I was planning on comparing the amount to other recipes to find out how much of the other ingredients I need. I just wasn't sure what those are. For example, do I have to add butter?

What ingredients do cookies require to be a cookie?

Baking is more generally a study of proportion.

Cookie dough is one part sugar, two parts fat, and 3 parts flour.

I was always told that a cookie over a certain size would be characterized as a cake anyway.

Hm. I've always been told the difference was a matter of consistency and proportion. *NM*

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

Generally. Yes, you can do all sorts of miraculous things with applesauce and oatmeal. *NM*

Butter/egg yolk to keep the dough intact and very little moisture (water)

I put 'drop' chocolate chip cookie dough on a baking tray and into the oven.
