Combine the flour eggs margarine sugar vanilla lemon zest and chopped almonds to form a smooth dough. Stir in the whole almonds.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place refrigerated rolls of dough onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool then slice into 1/2 inch thick slices.
