Instructions

- Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and sprinkle some tapioca flour on top. Place the dough on top and sprinkle a little more tapioca flour on top of the dough. Roll dough out to about ½ inch in thickness. Using cookie cutter, cut the dough into shapes and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased with oil. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until they turn a golden brown color. Let cool before icing.
- For the icing, sift the powdered sugar with the pumpkin spice if you haven't already. Then add in the honey, almond extract, and water in 1 tablespoon increments until the icing reaches a glue-like consistency.2 cups powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice, ½ tablespoon honey, ⅛ teaspoon almond extract, 2 tablespoon water
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a small round tip with the icing and pipe designs on the cookies. While the icing is damp, add sprinkles if desired. Let the cookies set for at least 10 minutes and enjoy!Sprinkles
