Add eggs; beat well. Add half of dry ingredients; mix well. Blend in sour cream and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir in remaining dry ingredients and chopped almonds; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Heat oven to 375°F. On well-floured surface, roll out half of dough at a time to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 5-inch circles using empty 14-oz. coffee can as cutter or small bowl or plate as pattern, cutting around pattern with knife.
