Orange Mandelbrot

• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon grated orange rind
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup slivered almonds, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Grease a baking sheet.
3. Beat eggs, sugar, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer until blended.
4. Beat in orange rind and vanilla.
5. Sift flour with baking powder and salt into a bowl.
6. Add to egg mixture.
7. Stir on low speed of mixer just until blended.
8. Stir in almonds on low speed.
9. Shape dough into 4 log-shaped rolls, each about 2 inches.
10. Place on baking sheet.
11. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
12. Use spatula to smooth dough and to push again into log shape if it has spread a bit.
13. Sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar and pat to make it adhere to sides as well.
14. Bake 30 minutes or until lightly browned and set.
15. Transfer carefully to a board and let stand until cool enough to handle.
16. With a sharp knife, carefully cut into diagonal slices about 1/2-inch thick; dough will be slightly soft inside.
17. Return slices in one layer to 2 or 3 cleaned baking sheets.
18. Bake about 7 minutes per side or until lightly toasted so they are beige and dotted in places with golden brown; side of cookie touching baking sheet will brown first.
19. Watch carefully so cookies dont brown throughout or they will be too hard and dry.
20. Cool on a rack.
21. Keep in airtight containers.
