Brownies and peppermint


I can't even tell you how delicious these are. I had frozen some dough that was left over from the Brownie Cookies that I made for Valentine's Day and it has been calling me from the freezer ever since. So today I pulled it out, defrosted it, and rolled it out. I kept thinking shamrocks, and green, and hmmmm, brownies and hmmmmm . . .  peppermint icing! Egad, I almost made myself sick on the icing alone! It's just the usual butter icing - 2 cups icing sugar, 4 - 5 Tbsp butter, a splash of milk, a drop of green food colouring and a dash of peppermint flavour. Splash. Drop. Dash. Then I made some green tea to serve as a bit of a tonic to my sugar overdose and I had myself a simply divine teatime all by myself. No regrets.
