Directions:
Toast almonds in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Cool, then chop finely. Set aside.

In mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined. Beat in lemon peel and vanilla. Combine flour, baking power, salt, cinnamon and cardamom, mixing well. Add to creamed mixture, 1/3 at a time, mixing until combined. By hand, stir in almonds. (Batter should be stiff.)

Divide batter into fourths. Roll each into a cylinder about 2 inches in diameter. Place on a greased and floured baking sheet and bake at 325º abut 25 minutes or until rolls begin to brown.

Remove rolls from oven and let cool 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250º. Slice rolls crosswise into 1/3 to 1/2 inch slices. Place cut side down on cookie sheets and return to oven for about 10 minutes or until dry. They will keep several weeks in a glass jar.
