You can't bake a cake with cookie dough that's just an odd shaped cookie

What if you put several layers to it? And topping, cookies rarely have toppings right?

I would say that it's the constituent parts and differences in consistency that makes something what it is, not its final physical appearance

If you put icing and sweets on top of a cookie it doesn't stop being a cookie, it's just an iced cookie. If you layer a bunch of cookies I think you could probably call it a cookie cake, but it's not just "cake" as it doesn't have the right composition, it's simply cookies in the form of a cake

Well, that's where I agree with you as for my main argument about the tortilla pizza.

I can't agree that cookie dough is a cookie though, which a commenter stated earlier.

So if we take uncooked cookie dough and layer it I couldn't call it a cookie in the form of a cake; it's fundamental to cook the dough before it's a cookie

Definitely, it doesn't count as a cookie until it's baked, part of being a cookie requires baking, but once the dough is mixed I don't think it can become anything other than a cookie

Completely agree there, I'd call it cookie dough in the form of a cake, however once baked I wouldn't call it a cake, because it doesn't have the composition required of a cake

Hahah okay but what if we put a cake foundation under the cookie dough cake (and between each layer), is it a cake now with cookie dough filling? The cookie dough has in this case also become something else than a cookie; a cake filling?

Hmm...I think in this instance we've created a new object by combining cookies with cake, a cakie if you will
