Directions:
Preheat oven to 325º Place almonds in a pan and toast in oven until golden - 8 to 10 minutes (be careful not to burn!) Let cool completely. Chop coarsely.

In large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla, almond extract and orange zest. In smaller bowl, combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Mix dry ingredients into creamed ingredients and stir until well blended. Fold in almonds. Divide dough in half. Place on greased baking sheet and form into two logs about 2-3 inches wide and 9-12 inches long. Leave at least 2 inches between logs. Bake until golden, approximately 25-30 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack taking care not to break logs. After 5 minutes, move logs to cutting board and slice diagonally, using a serrated knife, into 3/4 inch wide slices. Place slices, cut side down on a baking sheet and return to the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning over halfway through time period. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
