**NOTE** Make sure this dough is very cold when you place on your cookie sheet if not cold enough cookies will spread to thin**

With a small ice cream scoop roll into uniform balls

Place on a cookie sheet with a silpat or parchment paper to avoid sticking

Bake for 11 minutes at 350 degrees and remove to a wire rack to cool

FOR THE FROSTING:

In a stand mixer cream shortening and sugar together, slowly add almond extract, add coconut milk one tablespoon at a time to ensure frosting doesn't get to thin

Add food coloring (optional)

Frost your cookies and lay out on a wire wrack for frosting to dry

I placed parchment paper between cookies so they wouldn't stick together
