Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the toasted almonds.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log, about 8-10 inches long and 2 inches wide.
• Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Flatten the logs slightly.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
• Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
• Transfer the logs to a cutting board and carefully slice them into 0.5-inch thick pieces using a serrated knife.
• Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for another 10-15 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
• Let cool completely on a wire rack.
