This Pumpkin Spice Latte Amish Sugar Cookies recipe is super easy and makes a big batch!
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, oil, and sugars until combined.
Beat in eggs and vanilla.
In a small bowl, whisk together instant coffee granules and water.
Add to mixing bowl, and beat until combined.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and pumpkin pie spice.
Gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Drop dough by small teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets.
Bake at 375 for 8-11 minutes, or until edges and bottoms are lightly browned.
Remove to wire racks to cool.
For icing:
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup coffee and instant coffee granules.
Add butter, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and 4 cups powdered sugar, whisking until smooth.
Add additional coffee or powdered sugar, as needed, to achieve a thick, but spreadable consistency. It should be thicker than a glaze, and it shouldn't run off the cookie, but should be easily spreadable.
Frost cookies, decorate as desired, and allow icing to set.
