Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In an electric mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, orange peel and vanilla; beat until light and creamy.

Sift together the dry ingredients.

With the mixer on slow, add dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.

Slowly add eggs and amaretto.

Add almonds and chocolate just until combined.

Lay the logs onto buttered sheets and place on lower rack of the oven.

With a serrated knife, cut the loaves into half-inch slices, placing the cut slices flat on the cookie sheet.

Remove the slices to a wire rack to cool then store in an airtight container.
