Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
-
Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Spread a dollop of the cream cheese filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, flat side down, to create sandwiches.
-
Serve and enjoy!
