Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup whole milk

Instructions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, until just combined.
Fold in the candied orange peel, chocolate chips, and almonds. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disk shape. Place the disks onto the prepared baking sheet.
