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

Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract and red food coloring.

Combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, mixing until just combined.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers feel slightly underbaked.

Beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.

Spread or pipe the cream cheese filling onto the bottom of one cookie, then place another cookie on top to form a sandwich.
