To find out about the first parts of this project, check out Part I and Part II!

| Two doughs |
The mixing of the individual recipes was easy, but combining was a little trickier. We tried two methods.
First, we made sandwiches. We had two layers of cookie dough with some brownie dough in between. They did not look very neat on the cookie sheet, a bad portent.

They went in the oven as we started on the second method. For this, we made hollow cookie dough balls and filled them with brownie mix. These were more satisfactory looking, though my daughter's results looked much better than mine on the cookie sheet. Her's were smaller.

| Size differences! And beauty differences! |
These went into the oven on the bottom rack.

| Cooking the cookies |
The first cookies did not look quite done, so we extended for five minutes over the thirteen original minutes. We gave them another three minute extension and then took them out of the oven to cool.

| Finished product |
So they did not turn out brownie-filled, more like half and halfs. They tasted good but weren't what we were shooting for.
The second set of cookies also got some extra baking time. With the open space, we put the remaining brownie mix in an 8x8 pan to cook (rather than save it for a later batch of cookies). The pure brownies went on the top rack while the other cookies finished on the bottom.
 |
| Finished product |
The second cookies looked a lot better. Obviously we need a bigger cookie sheet or fewer cookies or smaller cookie balls. They kept their cookie appearance. The cookies didn't get the height we wanted, so some still had their brownie showing.

These cookies tasted great and were satisfying. We want to try again with a different combination, which will be posted soon!
