Step 10: Prepare the Coffee Glaze

12. Make the glaze: While the cookies are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more coffee or powdered sugar as needed. The glaze should be slightly thick but still pourable.

Step 11: Drizzle the Glaze

13. Glaze the cookies: Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the coffee glaze over each cookie using a spoon or a small piping bag for a more precise drizzle.

Equipment Needed:

• Mixing bowls
• Electric mixer or stand mixer
• Cookie scoop or tablespoon
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
• Cooling rack
• Small whisk (for glaze)
• Small bowl for glaze

Recipe Variations:

• Add-ins: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough before baking. Chocolate chips also pair wonderfully with the pumpkin spice flavors.
• Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Cookies: To make this recipe vegan, substitute the butter with vegan butter, the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water), and the milk with a non-dairy milk of your choice.
• Pumpkin Spice Latte Cheesecake Cookies: Add a layer of cheesecake filling in the center of each cookie before baking to transform these into an indulgent treat.
