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

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring; mix until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until fully incorporated.

Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down gently in the center of each ball and place a cube of cream cheese there.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft. Let cool slightly before serving.
