In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and neon green food coloring. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Scoop out about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the green filling onto a lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and black gel food coloring. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda, cocoa powder, and flour. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball, flatten it, and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until you use half the dough.
Place a frozen cream cheese ball in the center of each dough ball. Roll another tablespoon of dough, flatten it, and cover the filling. Seal the edges.
Add Halloween sprinkles on top, gently pressing them into the dough.
Chill the assembled cookies for 30 minutes before baking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
