Here is a really good recipe that I have made with success!
1/2 stick Butter, softened
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1 Tblsp. Grated Orange Peel
2/3 cup Semisweet Chocolate Mini Chips
2/3 cup Almonds
1 1/4 cups Sugar
4 Large Eggs
2 cups Flour
Directions
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease & flour a large cookie sheet.
2. In a large bowl with mixer on high speed, beat butter, 1 cup sugar, the orange peel and baking powder until well blended.
3. Beat in 3 eggs.
4. On low speed, beat in flour just until blended. Stir in chips and nuts.
5. Turn dough out on a well-floured work surface (dough is sticky).
6. Divide dough in quarters. Roll each portion into a 9-inch log.
7. Place logs 3-inch apart on prepared cookie sheet.
8. Beat remaining egg in a small bowl with a fork. Brush on logs, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
9. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
10. With a long, sharp knife, cut each log diagonally in 1/2-inch thick slices.
11. Arrange slices upright on cookie sheet. Bake 15-17 minutes longer until crisp.
12. Remove cookie sheet from oven and turn cookies to brown other side. Bake for 10 more minutes.
13. Remove to a wire rack to cool (cookies will get even more crisp.)
14. Store airtight at room temperature up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.

I thought you might find it interesting to know a little about how the Jewish people in the Bible celebrated fall.
Feast of the Ingathering
The Israelites or Jews of the Bible celebrated the harvest
with feasts called Sukkoth
Sukkot or Succot (Hebrew: סוכות or סֻכּוֹת, sukkōt), in traditional Ashkenazi pronunciation Sukkos or Succos,
literally Feast of Booths,
is commonly translated to English as Feast of Tabernacles, sometimes
also as Feast of the
Ingathering. It is a biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the
month of Tishrei (varies
from late September to late October). During the existence of the Jerusalem Temple it was one of the Three Pilgrimage
Festivals (Hebrew: שלוש רגלים, shalosh regalim) on which the Israelites were
commanded to perform a pilgrimage to the Temple.
Sukkot has a double significance. The one
mentioned in the Book of Exodus is agricultural in nature –
"Feast of Ingathering at the year's end" (Exodus 34:22) – and marks the end of
the harvest time and thus of the agricultural year in the Land of Israel. The more elaborate religious
significance from the Book of Leviticus is that of commemorating the Exodus and
the dependence of the People of Israel on the will of God (Leviticus 23:42-43).
The holiday lasts seven days in Israel
