2. Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Food coloring (brown, black, gold)
Royal icing or colored fondant for decorating
Edible gold dust (optional for accents)

3. Step-by-step instructions

Preparing the Cookie Dough

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Shaping the Clock Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or a custom-shaped cutter resembling a clock to cut out the cookies. Carefully transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Baking

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Decorating the Clock Cookies

Use royal icing or colored fondant to decorate the cookies. Refer to Cogsworth’s character for color inspiration: browns, golds, and black. Use a small piping nozzle to add clock details, numbers, and clock hands. Add edible gold dust for a luxurious finish, mimicking Cogsworth’s ornate accents.

4. Storage tips

Store the decorated clock cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, keep them refrigerated and bring to room temperature before serving to maintain freshness and decoration integrity.

5. Serving suggestions

Arrange these animated desserts on a decorative platter for special occasions or themed parties. They can be paired with other themed cookies or festive treats for a full fairytale dessert table. Add some floral elements or fairy lights to enhance their magical appeal.

6. Tips and tricks

Use a clock-shaped cookie cutter or create custom templates for precise shapes.
Color royal icing with gel food coloring for vibrant hues without thinning the consistency.
If decorating intricate details, use fine-tipped piping nozzles for accuracy.

Apply edible gold dust with a soft brush for an elegant shimmer.
