About the dish

Paximathakia is the Greek version of biscotti. The cookies are made with a combination of flour, baking soda, orange juice, lemon juice and peel, olive oil, cinnamon, toasted sesame seeds, sugar, and baking powder. The sticky dough is shaped into logs that are baked until firm, cut into slices, then baked again at a lower temperature, which will draw the moisture out of the cookies. These twice baked cookies should be left to cool completely before they're stored in airtight containers.
