   • In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, egg yolk, and orange juice until creamy.

2. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:

   • Sift the flour and stir in the sugar and baking powder until well combined.

3. Form the Base:

   • Press the dough evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Pro tip: You can use a glass as a makeshift rolling pin to achieve an even layer.

4. Bake the Base:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Bake the cookie base for 10 minutes until lightly golden.

5. Add Chocolate Chips:

   • As soon as you remove the base from the oven, sprinkle the surface with chocolate chips. They will melt slightly from the residual heat.

6. Bake with Chocolate:

   • Return the pan to the oven for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate chips to soften.

7. Spread Chocolate:

   • Once the chocolate chips are soft, remove the pan from the oven and spread the chocolate evenly over the surface.

8. Optional Raspberry Layer:

   • If desired, cover the chocolate layer with pureed raspberries. This adds a delightful fruity flavor.

9. Prepare Topping:

   • In another bowl, beat two eggs until thick. Mix in 3/4 cup sugar and melted butter until well combined.

10. Add Flavors:

    • Stir in 4 teaspoons of vanilla extract and the chopped walnuts into the egg mixture.

11. Layer the Topping:

    • Spread the walnut mixture evenly over the chocolate (and raspberries, if using) layer.

12. Final Bake:

    • Return the pan to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.

13. Cool and Serve:

    • Once baked, allow the cookies to cool in the pan before cutting them into bars according to your preference.
