Make your sugar cookie dough following the directions on your Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix.

Use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes of cookies that you want. Then transfer them onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake your cookies according to the directions on your cookie mix.

While the cookies are baking you can whip up the Royal Icing! Place all the Royal Icing ingredients into a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (you could also use a hand beater), and mix on high speed for 1.5 - 2 minutes or until the icing will flatten out within 5 - 10 seconds. If you feel that the icing is too thick you can add a bit of water and if it's too watery you can add some more confectioners sugar.

Remove your sugar cookies from the oven, and let them cool completely before attempting to add the Royal Icing to your cookies.

When your cookies have cooled, place some of the Royal Icing inside a zip lock baggie, and make a small hole in one of the corners to be able to pipe the Royal Icing out of.

When piping out your Royal Icing, start by outlining your cookie and then fill it in. You can use a toothpick to push the icing around to fill in the holes.

Let the Royal Icing fully harden (2 hours) before you do any watercoloring on them. You can speed up the Royal Icing drying process by putting the iced cookies in the fridge for 30 mins!

Make your watercolors! Mix a few drops of food coloring into a small amount of water. You can add as much food coloring as you like depending on how vibrant you want your watercolors to be.

Use a clean paint brush to paint the watercolors onto your cookies!

Optional - Sprinkled on some colored sugar sprinkles to make them sparkle!
