How to create new contracts (contract2a, b, c, etc) from a function in contract1 and then access the new contracts

Question

This is my first question here and I’ll try to keep it specific.

I have a “Baker” contract that has a function that makes a new “Cookie” contract. I deploy it in Remix and have problems interacting with the new Cookie contracts that are made.

Expected behavior:

• Use bakeNewCookie function to create a new contract and pass it’s state variable “CookieName” a string so that I can identify it later.
• When i “bakeNewCookie” the new Cookie contract has a constructor that defines it’s state variable “CookieAddress” with address(this) (I want to access each Cookie contract via the contract address).
• Then I want to use the “myCookieAddress” function which takes the address from one of the new Cookie contracts and gives me the “CookieName” variable of said Cookie contract.

Actual behavior:

• After calling “bakeNewCookie” I don’t see the new contract I created.

Question:

1. Do I actually create new Cookie contracts on the blockchain with this code? In the future I want users on a website to access the Cookies they have created and display them on a website.

2. Right now I’m trying to use the new contract address as the identifier to interact with them. Is there a better way to do it? I need a unique ID for each cookie that is tied to its information. Ideally I’d like to create a mapping of the new contracts but that doesn’t seem to be possible.

3. Why doesn’t the “myCookieAddress” function work as expected?

Thanks so much in advance for the help!

pragma solidity ^0.5.1;

contract Cookie {
    address public CookieAddress;
    string public CookieName;

    constructor() public {
        CookieAddress = address(this);
    }

    function theCookieInfo() view public returns(address, string memory) {
        return (CookieAddress, CookieName);
    }

}


contract Baker is Cookie {

    address public BakerAddress;
    address[] public CookieAddresses;

    constructor() public {
        BakerAddress = address(this);
    }    

    function bakeNewCookie(string memory _name) public returns(bool) {
        new Cookie();
        Cookie.CookieName = _name;
        CookieAddresses.push(CookieAddress);
        return true;
    }

    function getCookieArray() view public returns(address[] memory) {
        return CookieAddresses;
    }

    function myCookieAddress(address _addressOfCookie) view public returns(string memory) {
        Cookie my_cookie = Cookie(_addressOfCookie);
        return my_cookie.CookieName();
  }
