Instructions

Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until the mixture is uniform in color.
Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the sheets and bake for 10 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth to make the filling.
Pipe or spread the filling onto the flat side of half the cookies and top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.

Notes

Ensure ingredients like butter and cream cheese are at room temperature to ensure a smooth, uniform texture. Use gel food coloring for the most vibrant results without thinning the dough. Store finished cookies in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese content.
