Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a large baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the oil, eggs, sugar and almond and vanilla extract until well blended. I love the smell of Almonds.

Combine the flour, baking powder and almonds together and slowly stir into the egg mixture to form a heavy dough.

Divide dough into two pieces. Form each piece into a roll as long as your baking sheet. Place roll onto the prepared baking sheet, and press down to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. They smell so good when baking. Remove from the baking sheet to cool.

When the biscottis are cool enough to handle, slice each one crosswise into one inch slices.

Place the slices on their sides back onto the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 6 to 10 minutes on each side.

Remove from baking sheet and allow biscottis to cool fully.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Spread a small amount on top of each biscotti. Allow chocolate to harden.
