- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the orange zest and orange juice concentrate; mix until well combined.

- Lightly grease a 15 x 10 x 1-inch jellyroll pan.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Prick the dough all over with a fork.
- Cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch diamonds.
- Place a sliced almond in the center of each diamond.

- While still warm, carefully recut the diamonds to sharpen the edges.
- Let the shortbread cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before serving.
