Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ cup buttermilk

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
    • Add the white vinegar and buttermilk, mixing until the dough is smooth.
  • Bake the Cookies:
    • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
    • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:
    • In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until fully incorporated.
    • Mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Frost the Cookies:
    • Once the cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting on top of each cookie.

Notes

  • Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for a smooth frosting.
  • Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant red color.
