Make the cookies: Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, vinegar, vanilla, and food coloring. Reduce mixer speed to low, and gradually beat in flour mixture just until combined. Divide dough into 2 discs; wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill ⏱️ 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with one disc of dough at a time, roll between 2 sheets of parchment to 1/4-inch-thick. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and place, at least 1 inch apart, on prepared baking sheets. Freeze ⏱️ 20 minutes. Bake, in batches, until set and dry to the touch, 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets ⏱️ 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
