Spanakopita Cookies (Spinach and Feta Cookies)
If you’re in the mood for Greek spinach pie, you can whip up these 20 minute cookies for all the same flavors and deliciousness.
These cookies definitely give off all the Greek flavors with the spinach, feta, scallions and dill. They are crunchy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside. I’m also not lying when I tell you they flew off the counter at my house and disappeared so quickly. I was definitely left wanting more. Solution: double the batch next time!

This is the second time I have made this recipe and it is absolutely delicious.I did add fresh garlic while melting the butter and used Parmesan instead of mozzarella.Sprinkled Parmesan and a few chili flakes on top before popping in the air fryer.Definetly a winner.
Hi Marianne, your version sounds delicious!!
I really enjoyed this recipe, and have been looking for a recipe using Bisquick for a pie my mother-in-law made years ago.
The flavors are perfect. I had canapes in mind, so rolled them walnut sized and baked. My only issue was they were a bit dry, likely because of their size. To curb that, I sliced them in half and spread the middle with a little cream cheese mixed w/ feta and dill.
Then toasted them quickly before the party.
Great little savory Oreo’s!
Thanks for sharing your recipe
I am fiercely cutting back on carbs. what would I need to do to use almond flour instead of wheat flour?
these were amazing. I made them using gluten-free flour and serve them with tzatziki. thank you so much for your recipes and wonderful videos.
Fantastic for a great nutritious snack, protein packed!!!
Thanks for a great recipe! I made them as mini muffins and added an extra egg. They’ll be perfect as savory snack’s for my son’s engagement party high tea. Might even make them with other ingredients for extra variety, especially as they can be frozen and I can make them well ahead of time.
would almond flour work in place of self-rising flour to make it less Carby?😉
Hi Stella, I made these for the first time and they were delicious.
Mine did not brown much on the top they were quite green.
Still delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
Linda
literally one of the most delicious and flavorful cookies I’ve ever had. Me and my family loved it, it’s just like spanakotiropita. truly delicious and with quite few calories. i put oat flour instead of plain and it turned out very tasty. you have to give it a try!! Thank you so much for the amazing recipes
Absolutely delicious.
How do I bake after freezing?
Do I need to defrost, or just bake them from frozen and increase baking time?
Hanna
Can I make and keep them as frozen cookie dough so that I can bake them fresh when needed?
I have regular spinach not vab6 spinach, should I cook it first ?
I love making these! Stella is the nutritional value per 1 cookie or what is the serving size? thanks!
I’m Greek so I make spanakopita occasionally. I made these and I think I personally would add more dill and onion and less flour. it’s healthy and thank you or sharing! I’ll make again with some tweaks!
Can I sub almond flour for the regular flour
Yummy 😋
