Our philosophy for these cookies: If butterscotch is good, more butterscotch is better. And we think, if you’re a fan of the nutty-sweet flavor, then you’re going to go wild for these tender, chewy, chip-strewn cookies. The thing that really puts them over the top, though, is the sprinkling of salt that balances out the sweetness just right—skip it at your own risk!

Step aside, pie. With an ooey-gooey brownie base, this spin on the classic pastry is a chocolate-lover’s dream come true. Topping the brownie base is a smooth chocolate custard that truly lives up to the name “silk,” plus dollops of whipped cream for good measure (and while we were at it, we sprinkled on some mini chocolate chips because we could).

Zucchini growers know that once those vines start fruiting, it’s time to start getting creative. If you find yourself with an abundant harvest (or if you over-bought at the market), these brownies are an ideal candidate for putting your zukes to very good use. The moisture in the zucchini helps yield a moist brownie and finishing with frosting is something we advocate doing whenever you can!
