greek cookie?

Question

Does anyone know how to make these Greek Cookies that I am dying to find....they are not anything you get in any Greek Restaurant that I have been to...a friend of mines mom made them when I was young...They are almost like a Biscotti texture and are quite plain in flavour maybe a hint of orange...She made them in a 1/2 moon sort of shape...maybe she made it in a "log" shape and then cut it...if you solve this you have solved a 20 year mystery...thanks
