In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Take small portions of the dough, roll into balls, and slightly flatten on the baking tray.

Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Let the cookies cool completely.

For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.

Add the powdered sugar gradually, followed by orange gel food coloring. Beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

Spread the frosting over the cooled cookies or pipe it decoratively.
