In a large bowl crush the butter cookies in small pieces. Butter and egg has to be in room temperature. Add the powdered sugar, the egg, the cocoa powder and the vanilla powder to the cookies. Then add the butter in small cubes. All together we shuffled by hand until it becomes uniform. Wrap an oblong cake form with a cling film and spread the mixture inside. Froze the cake for about two hours in the freezer to be tightened.
