White Chocolate Spice Cookies

PollyDecember 11, 2023August 28, 2025

Today I am sharing a White Chocolate Spice Cookie recipe. This cookie is deliciously spicy from the black pepper in the dough, and deliciously decadent because of the white chocolate decoration, mmmm. It’s a cookie for grown ups! My friend Kayte…

Minty Malty Hot Chocolate

PollyDecember 20, 2021August 28, 2025

You HAVE to try this!  It’s delicious, and it’s mild and smooth and warm and comforting, and sooooo Christmas-y! I don’t know about you, but I don’t like bitter hot chocolate (Starbucks), and I don’t like hot chocolate that is so…

Tangerine Sugar Cookies

PollyDecember 9, 2010August 28, 2025

This cookie is new to me this year, but I think it will be making regular appearances from here on out.  I was a little hesitant to make this cookie because it has olive oil in it. Olive oil? I know olive…

Triple C Bars (Chocolate-Caramel-Coconut)

PollyDecember 6, 2010August 28, 2025

Coconut Bars are a new addition to my repertoire this year. Over the past month or so I’ve spent a bit of time trying to cook my way through The Gourmet Cookie Book: The Single Best Recipe From Each Year 1941-2009…

Eggnog Spritz Cookies

PollyDecember 5, 2010August 28, 2025

I’ve been making these spritz cookies for so long—at least two cookie-presses ago—that I have no memory of where I got the original recipe. Also, I probably fiddle with this recipe every year, and this year, I upped the nutmeg and…

About Me

polly of the kitchen

It's all about the recipe—really, it is! I have amassed quite a collection of recipes from my favorite cookbooks, food magazines, friends, the Internet, and more recently my adult daughters. I test every recipe I post. Some I've been cooking for years, decades even, and a few I have made only a few times. I don't post mediocre recipes. I don't post good recipes. I post GREAT recipes! When I find a recipe I LOVE, I can't wait to share it. I started In the Kitchen with Polly on January 01, 2010, a joint venture between myself and my non-cooking but most excellent webmaster, proofreader, technical goddess and all-around bestie, ratty (not a joke—ratty is her chosen nickname—her Mama didn’t do that to her, she did it to herself!). Last year we hit a snag—the website went up in monstrous flames. It took a long time to sort out what happened and even longer to recreate what was lost. Hundreds of pictures gone, and every recipe we posted (300+) over the last 14 years had to be reformatted, many pictures retaken. It's done now though, and we are back! I like this brighter version :) Scroll through! Find something you like, and let's get cooking! There’s a search button and there are also tags to click on if you want to find a recipe for a specific food. If you need it, the print button is on the preview page and at the end of each post.

Enjoy!
