ISO: Softer cookies and preventing a cake from flattening

Misc.
I am new to baking and cooking. Please help.

1. How do make any cookie softer? What do you add (like making chocolate chip cookies)?

2. When I make a "fluffy" cake, once it cools, it flattens. Why and what can I do to prevent this? And what makes it fluff, the baking soda or the beated egg white?
