1 Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a large baking sheet.
2 In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3 In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed until light and foamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the lemon and orange zests and vanilla. On low speed, stir in the dry ingredients, then stir in the almonds.
4 Lightly dampen your hands. Shape the dough into two 14 × 2-inch logs. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet several inches apart. Bake for 30 minutes or until firm and golden.
5 Remove the baking sheet from the oven and reduce the oven heat to 300°F. Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.
6 Slide the logs onto a cutting board. With a large heavy chef's knife, cut the logs on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Lay the slices on the baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
7 Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.
