Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

PollyDecember 21, 2021January 13, 2026

Tomorrow we’re making Christmas sugar cookies then heading out to see the Christmas lights.  It’s finally beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! This recipe is from King Arthur Flour, and the photo is from there, too. The…

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…

Apricot-Coconut Bars

PollyMay 4, 2021July 17, 2025

Feel like baking this weekend? Try these! They are delicious, and one of my favorite bar/tray bake recipes. The bars are buttery, crisp, jammy, and coconut-y all at the same time and there is a pronounced taste of real apricots…

Cafe Mocha Pinwheels

PollyAugust 18, 2020July 7, 2025

I love cookies! These are fun, a bit different, striking, and feature grown-up flavors of mocha and espresso. I found the original recipe in the Taste of Home publication, ‘Fall Baking 2019‘ (unknown availability). After my first try, following the…

There are other cookies on this plate, but this recipe is for the large cookie on each side of the plate, the one with either a Hershey’s Hugs or Kiss in the middle. My daughter, Abby, is the cookie-baker in…

Paddington Bear Cookies

PollyNovember 29, 2019January 13, 2026

What rock have I been hiding under?! Up until a few hours ago, I had no idea that Paddington Bear loves marmalade. A quote from Paddington Bear himself,  “A wise bear always keeps a marmalade sandwich in his hat in…

Italian Butter Cookies

PollyJuly 3, 2019January 13, 2026

I love these cookies. Not Italian Butter Cookies from a package. Not the ones from the bakery. The ones made at home. With butter. And no preservatives. I’m sure you’ve all seen these cookies. I swear they are in every…

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!
