  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 1½ cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1¼ cups (120 grams) almond flour

  • Chocolate Dough:

Instructions
  1. For orange dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, zest, and confectioners’ sugar until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add egg and orange juice, beating to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, salt, and pistachios. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating just until combined.
  2. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap. Press dough into prepared pan, and refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. For chocolate dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, confectioners’ sugar, orange juice, and vanilla until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cocoa, and pistachios. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating just until combined.
  4. Spread chocolate dough on top of orange dough, smoothing as much as possible. Cover layered dough and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Remove pan from refrigerator. Using excess plastic wrap as handles, remove dough from pan. Cut into 2x¼-inch slices.
  7. In a shallow dish, place turbinado sugar. Roll edges of dough in sugar to coat. Place on prepared pans at least ½ inch apart.
  8. Bake until firm and just beginning to brown at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
