Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese filling by beating all filling ingredients until smooth. Scoop into small portions and freeze until firm.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, food coloring, and buttermilk.
- Gradually mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour.
- Wrap cookie dough around frozen cream cheese filling, sealing completely. Place on baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–14 minutes until edges are set. Cool before serving.
Notes
For best results, freeze the cream cheese filling before stuffing and avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft.
