Cookies date back to 7th century Persia (now Iran), and were used by bakers to test the temperature of the oven.
Cookies contain fat (e.g. baking spread) and sugar, so should be eaten in small amounts.
The food skills used to make raisin and banana cookies are measuring, mixing, mashing, dividing and using the oven.
The cookies need to be the same size, for even cooking. If smaller, they will burn, if bigger, they will be undercooked.

You can bake cookies of different sizes on the same tray, making a bigger one for yourself.
