Preheat oven to 350o.
Combine dry ingredients (except sugar) in a medium bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together sugar and oil before adding the eggs, cinnamon, and almond and vanilla extracts and beating well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, blending with an electric mixer, creating a fairly thick dough.
Roll cookies into 4 logs and top with sliced almonds.
Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool for 10 minutes, slice into 1 inch sections, and bake again - standing the cookies up so they cook evenly - for 10 minutes.
Let cool completely for ultimate crispness.
Enjoy, and marvel that these amazing mandelbrot are gluten-free.
