Prepare cookie sheet by taping parchment paper or waxed paper to it. Set aside.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat all ingredients together until stiff peaks form; about 10 minutes.
Divide royal icing into small bowls, one for each color. Add a drop of black color to a bowl. Mix until royal icing is desired color.
Add a few drops of water into each color and mix; keep doing this until desired consistency is achieved. I used about an 8 second royal icing consistency.
Pour white royal icing into a pastry bag fitted with decorated tip #2 for the sclera (white part).
Pour black royal icing into pastry bag with decorating tip #2 for the pupil.
Using white royal icing, apply firm pressure to your pastry bag and make a white dot (the sclera), releasing pressure and pulling the tip away when desired size is achieved. Make 8-10 white dots.
Using black royal icing, apply firm pressure to your pastry bag and make a black pupil on top of your white dot, releasing pressure and pulling the tip away when desired size is achieved.
Continue the above two steps until you have desired amount of eyes.
Allow Royal Icing Eyes to air dry for 24 hours. Eat & Enjoy!
