Preheat oven to 350. 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.

Remove dough to a floured surface and form into 4 flat logs about
4 inches wide and the length of your cookie sheet. Lay the logs
onto buttered sheets and place on lower rack of the oven. Bake
until lightly browned, about 45 minutes.

Remove to a rack to cool. With a serrated knife, once loaves are
completely cooled, cut the loaves into half-inch slices. The place
the cut slices flat on the cookie sheets so they can be placed back
in the oven.

To make crisp, return them to the lower rack of the oven and cook
on each side, about 10-15 minutes, until golden. Remove the
slices to a wire rack to cool. Once completely cooled store in an
airtight container (these do not need refrigerated). NOTE - The
amaretto flavor comes out the longer you let them sit in the
airtight container.
