Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, then stir in vanilla extract and cream soda until smooth.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each cooled cookie halfway into melted chocolate and place on parchment-lined tray. Add gold dust or sprinkles and drizzle extra chocolate if desired.
Allow coating to set at room temperature for 15–20 minutes or refrigerate to speed up process.
Serve and enjoy.
