There are some cookie recipes using coffee beans. I've never tried any of them. But I am curious, if eating a cookie has the same effect as drinking coffee?
Or is all of the caffeine lost during the baking?

2The heat of baking will not have any effect on the caffeine, which is an extremely stable organic molecule. See this previous Answer for related information. – hardmath Jan 19 '16 at 21:58

No, because there is no fluid in the cookie. Eating a coffee cookie will have the same effect as eating a roasted coffee bean.
Virtually no caffeine will be lost during baking, unless you bake hot enough to burn the cookies. Caffeine's melting point is 460F (237 °C). That is well above what your cookie will reach internally while in the oven.
