Google “Back of the Box” recipes and you’ll get lists such as The 10 Best Back-of-the-box Recipes from Epicurious, or Buzz Feed or The Daily Meal.  It’s never the 20 best back-of-the-box recipes or 100 best back-of-the-box recipes.  Nope. Just…

Kipferls – Vanilla Hazelnut Butter Cookies

PollyMarch 8, 2014August 28, 2025

I had never, ever heard of kipferls before. Then, in two weeks they came into my life twice! First, my friend Priscilla made some in the Culinary School Pastry Arts program she is enrolled in. I didn’t try one because…

As many of you know, I can’t be left in a room with a Rice Krispie Treat, or as my #1 grandson calls them, Rice Christmas Treats 🙂 Unfortunately, now he can’t be left alone in a room with a…

Blueberry Chip Cookies

PollyJuly 26, 2011August 23, 2025

Hey world, there’s a new cookie on the plate!  It’s sort of like a chocolate chip cookie—it has all the best elements of a chocolate chip cookie—it crunches like a chocolate chip cookie, and is crisp around the edges and…

Ever had a Bounty Bar? If you are a coconut lover, I sure hope you have!  Mounds bars and Almond Joy are ok in a pinch, but if you are a serious coconut lover, search out a Bounty Bar! It’s an English…

Tangerine Sugar Cookies

PollyDecember 9, 2010January 13, 2026

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 Cookies)

PollyDecember 6, 2010December 10, 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, 2010January 13, 2026

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!
