Directions
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 ½ 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.
