Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
If you need to substitute any ingredients, feel free to use whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor or goat cheese for a different tangy twist.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures that the cookies rise evenly and have a nice texture.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the feta, spinach, Parmesan, egg, olive oil, oregano, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The smell of baking feta and spinach will transport you to a Mediterranean kitchen!
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
