Preheat oven 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and fit a pastry bag with a medium tip.

For the cookies:
Whisk flour, cocoa and salt together, set aside.

Cream butter and both sugars in a bowl with mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

Add egg whites a little at a time, beating to fully incorporate.

Mix in flour-cocoa mixture. Transfer batter to piping bag.

Pipe batter onto baking sheets in strips 3/4 inch wide and 2 inches long. Bake until crisp around edges, 18 - 20 minutes. Cool in pan.

For the Filling:
Microwave cream and extract in a bowl until boiling. Pour over chocolate in a bowl. Let mixture stand 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Add food coloring a drop at a time until desired color is reached, stir to blend.

To Assemble:
Spread filling onto one cookie and top with another to form sandwich.
