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!

Hi Stella. Love your recipes.
I have to try spanakopita as this look delish.
Can I substitute egg in this recipe ? What can I use instead of 1 egg. Plz help
Love 🥰
HI Jyoti, Thank you so much! I would definitely go with a flax egg. I dont have much experience with egg replacers except for the flax egg. It will work but it will slightly change the texture of the baked good. Enjoy!
These are such a hit with my family!
Thank you for the recipe!
Hi Gina, Thank you for trying the recipe out! I’m happy they were well received by all!
My family love these! Thank you!
Hi Rose, Awesome! I’m so glad they were enjoyed by all!
These are absolutely delicious and easy to make! I couldn’t stop eating them. Very healthy. I love there is no sugar in them. I turned them over half way through while baking. They baked really fast in my oven. Came out great!
Great option for veggies
Do they freeze well?
I love these! I made them exactly as per your recipe the first time & they were great! But I found myself wishing there was more spinach (I love veggies!). So the next time I made them, I tripled the spinach, and very lightly steamed it first, to wilt & compress it (like when I make spanakopita with filo). I also added some pine nuts which gave the cookies more texture, balancing the extra spinach. Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea!
Easy and delicious!
Love your recipe can’t wait to make this ! one question why the Greek yogurt and mozzarella? When I make my spinach pie I only add feta again thank you
Can a low carb flour be substituted for regular flour?
Perhaps could they be made with cassava flour with the added baking powder, baking soda, and salt to make it self-rising?
I am going to make today
I will be making these almost every day
These are soooo good I can’t stop eating them.
Now these just have to be one of my favourites. Always have a batch on hand. Keep mine in the fridge as live in warm climate. Still fab. Make them and send them to my daughter.
Can I use 1 cup of Bisquick in place of the flour?
I have made these at least 5 times and I triple batch the recipe every time and I use dried dill.
Much loved by my family for a healthier take on spanakopita.
I often add in some collagen powder for some extra protein.
Thanks for an easy simple. We love quite a few of your recipes.
How much collagen powder did you add and did you have to increase any liquid? I am always looking to add protein. I wonder how it would be if I used garbanzo flour instead of regular flour?
