Cheesecake Filling:

- ½ cup salted butter softened

In a medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer combine the cheesecake filling ingredients, adding enough food coloring to get your desired green shade.
On a tray lined with parchment paper spoon out 1-½ teaspoons of the cheesecake filling.
Freeze for at least 2 hours.
For the cookie dough:
In a large bowl using an electric mixer beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined and fluffy.
Add in the egg, milk, baking soda, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and black food coloring. (Start with ½ a teaspoon of the food coloring and add more until you reach a deep black color.)
Slowly mix in the flour, 1 cup at a time.
Chill dough for 1-2 hours.
Assemble cookies:
Place parchment paper or a silpat liner on a backing sheet and set aside.
Take one tablespoon of the cookie dough and roll it into a ball and flatten it out a bit.
Place one of the frozen cream cheese balls in the center.
Roll and slightly flatten another 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and place it on top of the cream cheese ball.
Seal the edges of the cookie and top with sprinkles.
Chill for 30 minutes before baking.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and onto a cooling rack.
