Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Beat in eggs, vanilla extract, and food coloring until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
  3. Drop mounds of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced 2 inches apart. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are firm, and centers are soft and puffy. Avoid overbaking.
  5. Remove cookies from the oven and cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. For the frosting, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together, adding milk until smooth and creamy.
  7. Once cookies are cooled completely, spread cream cheese frosting on each cookie.
