Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes or until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Beat in food coloring and vanilla.

Spread about 2 1/2 Tbsp Cream Cheese Frosting onto each cookie; sprinkle with a few of the cookie crumbs.
