Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.

In another mixing bowl beat the 2 eggs and the sugar on medium speed until lemon colored and foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the olive oil, almond extract and vanilla. Mix until fully incorporated. Add the flour mixture and mix until fully absorbed. The dough will be rather soft.

Take  a Tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball.

Dip one side of the ball into the nonpareils and place the cookies nonpareil side up 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms begin to brown. Cool on a wire rack.
