Delicious Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies Recipe

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Then, add in the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will firm up the mixture, making it easier to handle when shaping the cookies.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Once the dough has chilled, roll it into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.

The filling should be light and fluffy, perfect for sandwiching between the cookies.

Once the cookies have completely cooled, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie.

Top it with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining cookies and filling.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for a delicious treat later on!
