Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets or cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together. Stir in the almonds and set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs until thick and very light. With the mixer continuing to beat, gradually add the sugar. When well combined, slowly pour in the oil while beating. When well combined, add the vanilla and almond extracts. With the mixer on low speed, incorporate the dry ingredients, about a third at a time, mixing well.

Knead the dough on a floured board for 10 to 12 turns, then divide the dough into three or four pieces. Roll each piece into strips about three inches wide, one inch thick, and 10 inches long (or a length that will comfortably fit your pan).

Place each piece on the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove immediately to a cutting board. While still warm, carefully cut into 1/2-inch slices. Lay the slices on their sides on the baking sheet and return to the oven to brown delicately, five to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
