brrrrr-ownies {bwd}

"Brrrrr" is something I've been saying all weekend, so this is the perfect recipe for the cold weather that just WON'T GO AWAY.

This week's Baking With Dorie pick calls for some chopped up York Peppermint Patties  {can you hear it? ~ when I bite into a York Peppermint Pattie, brrr, I get the sensation of cold crisp mountain air against my face as I race towards lift-off ~} in a brownie batter. Dorie created them for her son, who, like The Daughter, keeps them in the freezer for that extra cold, minty pick-me-up.

Today, on the 4th day of spring, we had a wintry mix of snow, sleet, hail, and a smattering thunder and lightning too. I am longing for warmth and sunshine and need some wintervention —cookie, take me away!

There's nothing quite like the early morning smell of a yeasty something and the sizzle of a porky other to make one feel like it's going to be a great day. Plus, the bonus of "Yes! Spring is Finally Here!" sunny weather on a Saturday...

This week's Baking with Dorie assignment was one that I looked forward to. I haven't made scones in about a decade, and I was hoping that this recipe would be a keeper.
