Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Set aside.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, orange extract, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet into the dry .
Add the eggs and mix until just combined—do not overmix. Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. For a more rustic look, you can pre-score the dough into 16 rectangular bars before baking.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
Let the cookie bars cool completely in the pan before cutting. This will ensure clean, sharp slices and prevent them from crumbling.
