Ingredients

2 cups All purpose flour

1 cup Sugar

1 teaspoon Baking powder

1/8 teaspoon Salt

3 large Eggs

2 teaspoons Flavoring Almond, Amaretto, Rum...Your choice!

2 teaspoons Vanilla

1 cup Almonds chopped or sliced


Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Whisk the eggs, extract flavoring(s) and vanilla extract in your mixer until well blended. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Dough should be thick and sticky at this point. Do not worry and DO NOT add any more flour!! Scrape the dough out onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Flour your hands and shape into a long, flat loaf about 10-inches long and 5-inches wide. This will be kind of messy, so don't worry about how neat it is. Just try to get it in the general shape. Bake until firm and dry (about 50 minutes). Remove from the oven and cool 10 minutes. Use a long serrated knife and slice into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Lay the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake another 20 minutes. Turn the slices over and bake 20 minutes more, or until the cookies are a light bolden brown. Cool on a rack. Cool COMPLETELY before storing.
