📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3
In a medium bowl, combine the orange zest and granulated sugar. Rub them together with your fingers until the sugar looks slightly moist and sandy - this releases the orange oils for extra flavor.
orange zest (about ½ of a medium orange)1 teaspoon
4
Add the softened butter and brown sugar to the orange sugar and cream together until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, scraping the sides as needed to incorporate everything evenly.

5
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until a few flour streaks remain.
6
Fold the mini chocolate chips and sliced almonds evenly into the dough.
7
Scoop and roll the dough into smooth balls (I use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop).
8
Optional steps:For an extra crunch, dip the tops of each dough ball into additional sliced almonds.For a chewier, more flavorful texture, chill the dough balls uncovered in the refrigerator for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
9
Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack until the edges start to tan (about ⏱️ 8-10 minutes).
10
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for ⏱️ 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
