Yes, you are correct! The author compares the cookie to a flying saucer most likely to emphasize the large size of the cookie. This comparison helps the reader visualize how big and unexpected the cookie was when it flew by the narrator's head.
I agree.
Oh, well!
Many things in literature, especially when dealing with literary terms, are interpretive. I have often disagreed with "answers" in texts and tests over the past several decades!
