From my days as a mom of little kids, here’s a recipe for some fancy peanut butter bars. Make them for a lunchbox surprise or a special after school treat. They are not just for kids though, these are really…

Chocolate Cookies with a Peanut Butter Surprise!

PollySeptember 14, 2024August 28, 2025

This cookie tastes much, much better than it looks. It also tastes much, much better than it’s list of ingredients. Take a bite; trust me!  There’s a layer of peanut butter inside!  As one of my friends said, one who shall…

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…

It’s that time of year—let the fall baking commence! I’ve started with these Pumpkin Spice Latte Biscotti, my entry for my cookbook club’s ‘Pumpkin Dessert Showstopper Challenge‘ last year—sometimes we act like we are contestants on the mythical ‘Great American…

Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers (with Caramel!)

PollyMarch 29, 2023July 15, 2025

This recipe is rustic and quick, and done in 20 minutes!  But, once made, the bars have to sit in the refrigerator to harden up a bit 🙂 A long time ago some friends gave me a recipe for Saltine…

This recipe is from the back of the bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips.  The cookie is fabulous!  It’s like a peanut butter cup in cookie form 🙂 My daughter made these cookies for a Back of the Box themed Cookbook…

Cowboy Cookies

PollyJune 13, 2021July 15, 2025

I have no idea why these cookies are called “Cowboy Cookies”. Coconut, oats and Rice Krispies don’t scream cowboy to me. Well, maybe the oats do. Legend has it that Laura Bush made these cookies popular after she submitted a…

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!
