Make the cookies: Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about an 1/8-inch thick. Using cookie cutters cut out the cookies. The scraps of dough can be re-rolled an infinite amount of times until all cookies are cut. Gently slide a metal spatula underneath each cut-out and transfer to a baking sheet greased with Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil Spray. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until firm and lightly crispy on the edges. Let cool before icing.
- Decorate: Keep the cookies on the baking sheet and set aside. In a medium bowl whisk to combine the confectioners sugar, coconut flour, almond milk, and almond extract. If the icing is too thin, mix in a ¼ tsp of coconut flour at a time to adjust for a piping consistency. Transfer mixture to a piping bag or zipper-lock bag and close to seal. If using a zip-lock bag, snip the tip of the bag to size needed. Drizzle or pipe the icing over the cookies, creating your own patterns. Decorate with sprinkles or other toppings while the icing is still wet. Let the cookies set before removing from the pan. (Unless, of course, you need to eat a cat cookie right away.)
These cookies keep well covered in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
