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.
