Easy Gluten Free Spinach & Feta Cheese Cookies
  • Flour you can use whatever you want:
    • Corn-based flour gives a golden yellow hue and better consistency to the dough.
    • Schär’s bread mix flour makes them firmer and easier to shape.
    • Semper flour mix, because it is finer, maybe you will need to add more 30-50 g and again the dough will be finer.
  • Whatever flour you’ll use, they will turn out amazing and be eaten in minutes.
  • I used half the quantity gf bread mix flour kai half gf corn-based flour because corn flour makes them crispier.
  • If you put the dough for 30 Minutes in the refrigerator, it will become a little firmer and you will be able to shape the cheesecakes more easily. Personally, I don’t have the patience to wait that long to enjoy these cheese cookies.
  • If you want, replace the oil in the dough with butter or put half the amount of oil and half the amount of butter. Oil goes better with spinach and that’s why I give it to you in the basic recipe.
  •  You can make the cheese cookies smaller and therefore more, so you will need to adjust the baking time accordingly.

Good Luck and Bon Appétit!!!
