- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla and almond extract
- In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt

- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts
- Form each dough into a flat log approximately 12 inch long and 3 inch wide. Place the logs* on the sheet pan. Leave a space between them since the dough tends to spread during baking
- Bake for 28-30 minutes or until the logs have browned all over
- Remove from the oven and let the cool for 10 minutes
- Using a serrated knife (bread knife) cut each log diagonally into 1/2" inch slices (approximately)
- Place the cookies on 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper
- Bake for 10 more minutes
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on a cooling rack
Notes
- If dough seems too sticky, moisten your hands with some water
