Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a stand mixer, (or by hand) combine butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.

3. Add Egg: Add eggs and food coloring to the mixture, then mix again until well combined.

4. Dry Ingredients: Add flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.

5. Form the Cookie Dough: For large cookies, scoop 1/2 cup of dough and roll it into a ball. Set on the tray and flatten slightly. Take about a tablespoon of the dough and flatten it completely. Bake the tablespoon of dough for 2 minutes and then crumble it.

6. Bake: Bake for 9-11 minutes until they look set and may still be a bit soft in the center. Allow cookies to cool completely. The cookies might look a bit underdone but it is done. They will look better when it sets.

7. Make the Frosting: While the cookies cool, prepare the frosting by mixing butter and cream cheese until combined. Add powdered sugar, and mix for another 2 minutes. To get completely smooth frosting, beat with the paddle attachment in a stand mixer for an extra 2 minutes.

8. Frost: Pipe the frosting onto each cooled cookie and sprinkle with the cookie crumble.
