Brownie-filled Cookie Experiment Part IV: The Final Solution?

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

For the second attempt at combining cookie dough and brownie mix, we used recipe #2 from the cookies and recipe #1 from the brownies. After having lots of extra brownie mix on the first attempt to create a brownie-filled cookie, we halved the brownie recipe (which called for two eggs, so that was easy).

The mixes in appropriate-sized bowls

Since the sandwich method did not work well last time, we opted for the brownie-mix-filled-cookie-dough-ball method.

Filling

We also made smaller balls, hoping that the cookies would not spread out and become one gigantic, pan-shaped cookie. We still had some brownie mix left over but only enough to fill a small loaf pan.

We also put fewer cookies on each tray

The oven didn't get overfilled either with our new method.

Cookie-brownies with a side of brownies!

The results were a lot more satisfying as they came out of the oven.

Looks great

After they cooled, the cookies were sampled. They came out very delicious and very satisfying. They looked great too. The brownie mix was drier than last time, so that probably stopped the cookie spread. 

Looking good

In the interests of scientific accuracy, we will try this again to make sure the results are repeatable and consistent. We may have to do several batches.
