Preparation
Step 1
Preheat to 375. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the semisweet and milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50% power until melted, about 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth.
Whisk in melted butter, sour cream, eggs, vinegar, vanilla and food coloring in a bowl until combined. In another bowl, whisk flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 4 equal batches, whisking each batch completely before adding the next. Stir in the melted chocolate.
Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets and smooth the tops with a damp finger. Bake until the cookie spring back when lightly pressed, 8-10 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
Beat cream cheese and butter with a mixer until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla seeds. Sandwich a heaping tablespoonful of filling between 2 cookies. Chill when all are sandwiched.
