For a richer flavor, toast the almonds lightly before chopping. Ensure the candied orange peel is finely chopped to prevent the cookies from being too chewy. If the chocolate is too thick to spread easily, add a teaspoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil while melting to thin it out. For a decorative touch, drizzle additional melted chocolate over the tops of the cookies after the base has set. These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of making, although they can be stored for longer in the refrigerator.

Jun 11, 2025My first batch spread a little too thin, so I chilled the batter for about 30 minutes before baking the rest. That seemed to help.
