Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flax egg, cashew butter, coconut sugar, syrup, and orange extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the raw cacao powder, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda, and beat again until a sticky dough forms. Fold in the orange zest and chocolate chips.
Using a small cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the baking sheet, spacing the cookies at least 2" apart. Repeat until all the dough has been used.
Gently flatten the cookies with your hands and bake on the center rack for 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
