1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
2. In mixing bowl beat butter on high 30 seconds. Add sugar; beat until combined. Beat in baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
3. In medium bowl combine flour and almonds. Beat as much flour mixture as you can into butter mixture. Stir in remaining flour mixture.
4. On lightly floured surface roll or pat dough to 14x7-inch rectangle, about 1/2-inch thick. Cut in half, making two, 14x3 1/2-inch rectangles. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch wide sticks.

Transfer cookies to rack to cool completely.

These make a pretty cookie to add to a goody tray, but the taste isn't anything spectacular.
