Preparation:

Step 1
• Prepare cookies: In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  
  Reduce speed to low and, continuing to beat, add the flour mixture in parts, then the food coloring, and mix until smooth.
Step 2
• Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead for a while. Then roll it into a log 25 cm long and 2.5 cm in diameter. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Freeze the dough until firm, about 2 hours.
Step 3
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling: In a food processor, combine coconut, cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth. Cool.
Step 4
• Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the freezer and unroll it. Cut the dough into 0.5-1 cm thick slices and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2.5 cm apart.
  
  Place in the oven and bake until the edges are set, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter and cool completely.
Step 5
• Divide the cookies into equal quantities. Spread 1 teaspoon of filling on the flat side of each cookie. Then top with the remaining cookies.
