Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, beat together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg, vinegar, red food coloring, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a uniform dough forms.

Cover the dough and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

Scoop large portions of dough, roll into balls, and slightly press down before placing them on the baking sheet.

Bake for 10-11 minutes until edges are set and centers look soft.

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

For frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter, then mix in powdered sugar and vanilla.

Frost cooled cookies generously and sprinkle with reserved dough for flair.
