Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tbsp red gel food coloring
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheets and gently flatten each cookie slightly.
Bake for about 10 minutes or until edges are firm but centers look slightly underbaked. Cool on wire racks.
For the filling, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread or pipe filling onto one cookie half before topping it with another.
