Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
One at a time, add the eggs, beating well after each addition.
Incorporate the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture gradually, mixing until just combined.
Incorporate the chopped almonds.
Form the dough into a long, flat log and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
Slice the log into 1/2-inch slices with a sharp knife.

Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely before serving.
