Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Combine almond flour, orange zest, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside
In a small saucepan, melt sugar, cream, corn syrup, and butter over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil, then cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat, add vanilla, then stir and pour into almond mixture and mix until just combined. Set aside to cool, about 15-20 minutes.
Using a teaspoon measure {will yield 3 inch cookies} sprayed with a little non-stick cooking spray for easy removal (or a small, spring-loaded cookie scoop), scoop a teaspoon of mixture and roll into a ball. Place 3 to 4 inches from each other on baking sheet {they will spread a lot}.
Bake cookies for 10 to 11 minutes until they are thin and lacy with an even golden color. Be careful not to over bake.
Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool slightly on baking sheet before gently removing them with a spatula and transferring to a baking sheet.
Drizzled with melted chocolate if desired. Allow to set before serving.
