Instructions

  1. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  2. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the beer and oil, mix with a fork until almost combined.
  3. Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and gently form in to a compact dough ball. Work the cookie dough as little as possible.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  5. Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line a cookie sheet (or 2) with parchment paper.
  6. Remove the dough from the fridge, place on a lightly floured flat surface, remove small pieces of dough and form into short chubby ropes, join the ends together (to form a small donut shape), place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Brush the cookies with milk, sprinkle with Demerara sugar or granulated sugar and bake in a pre-heated oven until golden, approximately 20 minutes.
  8. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet then move to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer you could make the dough with a stand mixer or food processor, although it is best to combine the ingredients on low speed and not to over mix.
  • The cookies should be stored in an airtight container, they should keep for up to 7 days at room temperature.
  • Place the completely cooled cookies in a freezer bag or container. They will keep for up to 2-3 months in the freezer.
