3 oz Cream cheese
1 1/2 c C and H Powdered Sugar

3 ts Baking powder

Cream together butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and beat until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. (Mixture might look curdled.) Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Chill dough 3 hours. Divide soft dough in half. On a 17 by 14 inch cookie sheet, form each half of dough into a roll 1-1/2 inches wide and the length of the cookie sheet. Bake in 350 degree oven 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cut rolls into 3/4 inch slices. Place on cookie sheets, cut side down, return to oven and bake 10 minutes or until toasted and crisp. Makes about 48 slices.

Almond Anise Biscotti (Greek Paximadakia)
Print this recipe here:
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar (plus more for garnish)
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups (450 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup toasted coarsely ground almonds
1-2 tablespoons anise seeds
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Beat the butter with the sugar, salt, almond and vanilla extracts. Beat over medium-high speed until fluffy.
Combine the flour, baking powder, nuts, and anise seeds in a large bowl and mix together.
Add the eggs to the mixer one at a time and beat until combined and fluffy.
Add the flour mixture slowly until incorporated and a dough is formed.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and form them into logs (about 1/2 inch thick).
Transfer the logs onto a half sheet baking (13 by 18 inch) tray that has been lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the tops of the logs with granulated sugar and lightly press the sugar into them.
Bake on the center rack for about 25 minutes until pale golden and the center of the loaves is firm.
Set them aside to cool.
Slice the loaves into about 1/2-inch thick slices cut on the diagonal.
Place the slices onto the baking tray and bake (325°F) for about 15 minutes.
Cool completely and store the cookies in an airtight container.
Serve with Greek coffee and enjoy!
