Let's Do It!
Baking the Holiday Donut Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Add the egg and the vanilla extract (optional) to a mixing bowl and beat until the egg is completely mixed
- Mix in the soften butter
- Mix in the cookie mix to form a dough (if the dough is too sticky, chill it in the fridge for 5-10 minutes)
- Divide the dough in half. Put one half in the fridge
- Gently press chunks of dough into the donut cookie mold until each ring is half full (you don’t need to grease the mold!). Set aside any leftover dough
- Bake the cookies for approximately 12-15 minutes or until golden brown
- Leave the cookies to cool for a few minutes in the mold, before turning out onto a cooling rack
- Repeat steps 5 to 8 with the other half of the dough
Instructions
Baking the Brigadeiro-Filled Cookies
- With any remaining dough, divide it into 2 even balls
- Using your finger, making a hole in the center of each ball and add roughly 1 tsp of brigadeiro
- Cover the brigadeiro with dough and roll into a ball
- Place the balls 2” apart on a baking sheet
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown
Leave them on the baking sheet or a cooling rack for at least 5-10 minutes before eating
Decorating the Cookies
- Get your decorations ready: open the brigadeiro containers and pour each topping onto separate plates
- Use a spoon or blunt knife to spread a thick layer of brigadeiro on top of a cookie
- Choose one or more toppings as a base color and gently press your cookie into the topping until evenly covered
- Decorate the rest of your donut cookie with the remaining festive toppings
- Taste and enjoy!
Pro Tips
When refrigerated in a sealed container, your cookies will be fresh for one week. You can also freeze the cookie dough (or the baked cookies) for up to 6 months.
Any undecorated and un-iced cookies can be warmed up in the microwave for 5 seconds for a freshly baked smell and taste!
If you have any leftover brigadeiro filling, you can use it on toast, as a fruit dip, or on any baked good. You can also warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds and turn it into a pourable sauce for ice cream!
If you’re sharing your experience with others, why not host a holiday donut cookie competition? Set a timer for 15 minutes. Choose any chocolate, toppings, props, or at-home pantry ingredients to make the most creative holiday donut cookies. Present your creations and vote.
Unopened jars of chocolate will be fresh for 3 weeks at room temperature and 3 months if refrigerated.
After opening, brigadeiro jars and rolled brigadeiro truffles will stay fresh for at least 2 weeks if refrigerated and up to 6 months in the freezer.
