-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 1/2-inch diagonal slices.
