Paximadia: greek walnut cookie slices

Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients:

• 1 c Oil
• 1 1/2 c Sugar
• 3 Eggs
• 4 c Flour
• 2 1/2 ts Baking powder
• 1 ts Cinnamon
• 1/2 ts Allspice
• 1/2 c Walnuts or almonds chopped
• 1 ts Anise ( optional )

Instructions:

These are very similar to biscotti but are not necessarily twice baked. I make this at Christmas time for my Greek friends . Beat oil and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Combine remaining ingrdients and mix into creamed mixture with wooden spoon. Form dough into 4 oval loaves on baking sheet.Score into 1/2 inch slices. Bake 325 for 25 minutes or done. Slice completly through while warm and cool completely. These freeze well. If you want a harder cookie you can return just baked cookie to oven reducing heat 200 and bake 20 minutes longer.
