1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon red food coloring
1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder
4 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream butter and sugars together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix well. Then, add food coloring and beat all together.
In a medium bowl, mix flours, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Add to the wet ingredients in the large bowl and mix with an electric mixer until just combined.
Add cream cheese to the bowl in tbsp sized chunks and mix until you have a nice swirl.
5. Scoop out tbsp sized balls onto a greased or lined cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
