Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3-5 minutes. Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract and red gel food coloring, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in white vinegar to the cookie dough.
- Scoop a tablespoon of the cookie dough, flatten it, and place a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center. Seal the dough and roll it into a ball.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chilled cookie dough balls for 11-13 minutes, until the edges are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Chill your filling to prevent leaks during baking. Seal the dough tightly around the filling for best results.
