Preheat the oven to 350º F

Soften the butter: let stand for a few hours or microwave on low for 10 seconds at a time.
Add vanilla extract and egg in a mixing bowl and mix well until the egg is completely mixed
Add butter
Add the cookie mix into the mixing bowl and mix it until the dough is formed.
If the dough is sticky, place the cookie dough in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to chill.
Using your finger, make a hole in the center of each piece and add roughly a tsp of brigadeiro. Cover the brigadeiro with dough and roll into a ball.
Place the balls with 2” apart on your prepared baking sheet
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let sit on the baking sheet or a cooling rack for at least 5-10 minutes before eating. Cookies are soft straight out of the oven, so don’t touch until cooled and hardened.
