Tasty Tuesday - Beer Cookies

Beer Cookies

Ingredients:

• 17 ounce/500 gr flour
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 cup sunflower oil
• 1 cup beer
• powder sugar 
• vanilla powder

Directions:

1. Combine flour, baking soda, oil and beer in a mixing bowl
2. Mix together well to make a dough. Add more flour as needed (personally I added about 7 ounce/200 gr more)
3. Keep kneading the dough as long as it takes until it is nice and smooth (you should know that it will always seem a little bit oily but don't over-do with the flower)
4. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness
5. Cut out the cookies with a small round cookie cutter or use a shot glass
6. Place them in a baking dish (with no butter or wax paper) and bake them on 390F/200C until they are golden brownish on both sides.
7. Mix the powder sugar and the vanilla powder in a big bowl, drop the ready cookies in while still warm and cover them with the sugar
