It's not just possible, but almost a requisite for a document that large to 
have an index or TOC dynamically update.
You will need to create and use a Paragraph Style on the Chocolate Cookies 
first page somewhere, and preferably, this style will be the same for Hard 
Candies, Licorice, etc. (Make it a Headline)
Go to your index page location; Select - Layout > Table of Contents. Include 
the Paragraph Style used for Chocolate Cookies Headline. There are some more 
options... Place the newly loaded cursor and viola, your Index is generated. 
(It's actually a TOC, just define it as Index in the dialog)
After you move, insert, delete pages go to Layout > Update Table of 
Contents.
Read the Help File, it will drive you batty. I just made a doc with a front 
index and end of doc index, the latter sorted alphabetically
By the way, are you actually using InDesign2, pre CS, or InDesign CS2 which 
is version 4?
