Preparation

Step 1

Melt the margarine in the microwave. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar and add to the margarine. Sift the flour and baking powder. Add to the rest of batter with the salt, vanilla, and slivered almonds. Mix thoroughly. Shape the dough into 4 pieces and sprinkle with cinnamon and bake in a 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool, then cut into 1/2-inch slices and arrange them on a baking sheet. Cut pieces should resemble biscotti.

Return to a 400°F oven and lightly brown on each side.
