Recipe - Paximadia: Greek Walnut Cookie Slices

1 cup Oil
1 One half cup Sugar
3 Eggs
4 cup Flour
2 One half teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
One half teaspoon Allspice
One half cup Walnuts or almonds chopped
1 teaspoon Anise ( optional )

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 One half 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.
