Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine the chopped baby spinach, dill, and scallions in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, letting those fresh flavors shine through.
  3. Mix in the crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella until everything is beautifully blended, creating a savory filling that will be the star of the cookies.
  4. Whisk together the lightly beaten egg, olive oil, and Greek yogurt in a separate bowl until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  5. Stir the wet mixture into the spinach and cheese combination gradually, ensuring everything gets thoroughly mixed.
  6. Fold in the self-rising flour gently, mixing until the dough just comes together.
  7. Scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls about the size of a walnut.
  8. Arrange the dough balls on your prepared baking sheet with about 2 inches of space between each.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and firm with slightly crispy edges.
  10. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
