Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper. Line counter with one sheet.
Place 1/2 of the dough on the parchment paper.
Sprinkle a bit of tapioca starch on the dough.
Cover dough with parchment paper.
Roll dough out using rolling pin on top of parchment paper.
Don’t roll too thin, I would say about 1/4 inch thick.

Use cookie cutter to cut out shape.
Place shape on cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes.
