Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

2 tablespoons red food coloring

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

        Add in the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, blending until a dough forms.

            Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your fingers to form discs.

                Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  While the cookies cool, prepare the filling by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

                    Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on the flat side of half the cookies, then sandwich with the other cookies.
