These almond–orange chocolate chip slice‑and‑bake cookies are soft‑chewy in the center, crisp at the edges, and filled with bright citrus and mini chocolate chips. Made with almond flour and olive oil, they have a naturally tender crumb and a warm Mediterranean feel — simple, cozy, and perfect for everyday baking.
The dough comes together in one bowl, chills quickly, and slices cleanly into modern rectangular tiles. They bake into golden, chocolate‑studded cookies that look as beautiful as they taste.
