Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Beat in 1 large egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract, then mix in 1 1/4 cups flour until just combined. Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1 tbsp orange zest.
  3. Step 3: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
  4. Step 4: While cookies cool, melt 1/4 cup candy melts with a pinch of edible gold dust. Drizzle over cooled cookies in a zigzag pattern to resemble rollercoaster tracks, then let set for 15 minutes before serving.
