Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Brown sugar
• 1 Egg
• 2 teaspoon Red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₄ cup Buttermilk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Cream cheese, softened
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough ball slightly.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
8. Once the cookies have cooled, spread a dollop of cream cheese frosting onto the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie, flat side down. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
9. Allow the cookies to rest for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
10. Enjoy!
