Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In a big mixing bowl, add flour. Cut butter into small pea sizes and mix with flour until incorporated.

Add vanilla into the cup of beer and then add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Mix everything together to create a ball of dough. Place into a zip lock bag and flatten it slightly while shaping it into a disk.

Refrigerate the dough for 20-30 minutes.

Roll out the chilled dough and cut into circles, creating a wreath shape or any shape you prefer.

Bake on a baking sheet with baking paper for about 10 minutes, keeping an eye on the cookies as they bake.

While still hot, roll the cookies into powdered sugar.
