   In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment
  blend the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt until the
  mixture is combined well. In a small bowl, whisk together the whole
  eggs, the yolks, the vanilla and the almond extract, add the mixture
  to the flour mixture, beating until a dough is formed, and stir in
  the almonds.
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead it several
  times, and divide it into fourths. Working on 2 large buttered and
  floured baking sheets, with floured hands form each piece of dough
  into a flattish log 11 inches long and 2 inches wide, arrange the
  logs at least 3 inches apart on the sheets, and brush them with the
  egg wash. Bake the logs in a preheated 350F oven for 35 minutes and
  let them cool on the baking sheets on racks for 10 minutes. On a
  cutting board, cut the logs crosswise on the diagonal into 3/4" inch
  slices, arrange them the biscotti, cut sides down, on the baking
  sheets, and bake them in the 350F oven for 5 to 7 minutes on each
  side, or until they are pale golden. Transfer the biscotti to racks
  to cool and store them in airtight containers. MAKES ABOUT 56 BISCOTTI
