- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in red food coloring and vinegar, and fold in white chocolate chips if using.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy.
- Once cookies are cool, frost each with the cream cheese frosting using a spatula or piping bag.
