With just three ingredients you can make cute googly eyes with royal icing.
Use them to decorate cookies, cupcakes, cakes, and more! They’re perfect for Halloween monster treats!
Ingredients
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 large egg white
- ½ teaspoon water
Instructions
- Line a few cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, egg white, and water. Mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon, until the icing is thickened and smooth, about 2 minutes. Note: Royal icing can be thinned by adding water, or thickened by adding confectioners’ sugar. Add the water or confectioners’ sugar in small increments, such as 1/2 teaspoon at a time, and mix thoroughly before deciding whether to add more. Thinner royal icing is perfect for cookie background work, and thicker royal icing is ideal for “piping” lines and making candy eyes.
- Transfer 1 1/2 cups of the frosting to a medium bowl. Add approx. 5-10 drops of black food coloring and mix until the desired color is reached.
- Using two pastry piping bags, fill one with white icing and the other with black icing.
- With the white icing, make a variety of eye sizes.
- Using the black icing, pipe the pupils on the white eyes. You can add the pupils in the center or offset for a more creative look.
- Leave the eyes on the parchment paper and allow to dry for 24 hours before using.
- Store in an airtight container.
