PHYLLO DOUGH COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Place 2 cups flour in a mixing bowl; make a well in the center. Drizzle in olive oil and add salt; add white wine vinegar and warm water. Mix until dough just comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured work surface.
• Knead until dough is smooth, using just enough flour to keep it from sticking to the work surface or your hands, 2 or 3 minutes. Continue to knead until dough is supple and elastic, about 5 more minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
• Divide dough into 20 (20 gram) portions using a kitchen scale; roll each portion into a ball. Place on plate and cover with plastic wrap to prevent dough balls from drying out while you begin to roll them out. Work in batches of 5.
• Mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons flour together in a bowl. Dust a work surface and the first dough ball with the cornstarch mixture. Flatten out the dough ball and roll out into a circle, about 5 inches in diameter. Dust again with cornstarch mixture. Set circle to one side. Roll out 4 more dough balls to about the same diameter and stack them on the first one, dusting each layer with more of the cornstarch mixture to keep them from sticking together.
• When you have 5 circles, roll out the stack to a larger circle about double in size, turning as you go to maintain a round shape. Separate each layer and lay out the circles. Re-apply more cornstarch mixture where needed and restack them. Roll again until the 5-layer stack is paper thin, about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place on a sheet of parchment paper; top with another piece of parchment. Gently roll up the dough; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate.
• Repeat with the remaining 15 balls of dough in batches of 5.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325ºF. Place frozen spinach in a colander and rinse with warm water, tossing, until thawed. Squeeze out excess water place on a double layer of paper towels. Use the paper towels to squeeze out more water. Repeat until the spinach has been squeezed dry. Set aside.Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until combined. Stir in cheeses, salt, and nutmeg. Add spinach, parsley, and cooled onion mixture. Stir until well-mixed. Unroll phyllo sheets and cover with a lightly damp dish towel. Brush oil onto the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place one sheet of phyllo on the bottom of the dish. Brush with oil. Repeat for a total of 6 sheets of phyllo. Add the spinach mixture, spreading evenly. Place 6 more layers of phyllo on top, brushing on oil between each layer. Oil the top layer. Fold any excess onto the top. Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden and looks crispy. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
