Ingredients

- ¼ cup baking cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter plus extra to grease plate and hands softened

Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium non-stick saucepan, whisk the condensed milk and cocoa powder together until obtaining a homogeneous mixture without cocoa lumps. Add the softened butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wood spoon, until the mixture starts to show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your wood spoon (about 5-8 minutes). The brigadeiro mixture should be thick enough to reveal the bottom of the pan for a couple of seconds before the mixture levels out again. Remove pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract if desired. Spread brigadeiro mixture onto a greased plate and let cool to room temperature. For direction photos, click here.
- While brigadeiro mixture is cooling down, separate the two rounded halves of the sandwich cookies with a gentle twisting motion, taking not to damage or break them in the process. Gently slide a paring knife or other small sharp knife beneath the filling layer in order to lift it off from the cookie and remove it. It's OK if a bit of the filling remains. Reserve separated and denuded cookie rounds, placing them on a flat surface.
- Once brigadeiro mixture has cooled, grease your hands with softened unsalted butter and roll into balls. Use a 1 Tablespoon as measurement (If you prefer less filling, use a ½ tablespoon as measurement when rolling the brigadeiro filling. It will yield 28 sandwich cookies instead. I do prefer mine with lots of filling, though).
- Place each brigadeiro ball on top of a cookie round, cover this with another of the cookie rounds to form a sandwich, and press down on the top to flatten the brigadeiro filling a bit.
- Gently dredge each brigadeiro cookie sandwich in a bowl filled with chocolate sprinkles, rotating so that the brigadeiro filling that is exposed all around the sides gets covered with sprinkles. Enjoy!
- STORAGE: Brigadeiro cookies should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
