  In a bowl combine flour, espresso powder, cinnamon, baking soda & powder, sugar, salt and orange zest. Mix thoroughly.

  In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture and beat with a mixer until a dough is formed. Stir in almonds and turn dough out onto a floured surface and form mixture into a ball.

  Cut the ball in half and form each half into a log approx. 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Arrange logs on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Logs should be 3 inches apart.
