This is a family favorite for a sweet treat with tea or coffee and heart heathy almonds.

Makes 32 servings

What you need:

1 ¾ cup unbleached flour
2 tsp baking powder
¾ cup whole almonds, roasted
2 eggs
¾ cup sugar
1/3 cup melted non-hydrogenated margarine or butter
2 tsp vanilla
½ tsp almond extract
1 ½ tsp grated orange rind
1 egg white beaten

How you prepare:

1. In a large bowl, mix baking powder, flour and almonds and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, butter/margarine, vanilla, almond extract and orange rind. Add wet ingredients to dry mixture, and mix to form dough.

2. Divide dough into 2 equal parts. On a baking sheet, create two, 12 inch-long logs. Brush top of logs with beaten egg white. Bake for 20min at 350 degrees.

3. Let cool for 5 min. Cut logs diagonally in 3/4inch slices. Separate slices on the baking sheet. Bake again for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
