Preparation

Step 1

For the chocolate chip cookie cups
Preheat the oven to 350F. Have two mini muffin pans ready.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls (roughly 1 tablespoon each) and add to each tin in the muffin pan (you won't fill up the whole second pan). Bake 10-12 minutes or until cookies fill the cup, done in the middle, and are golden brown. Immediately using a round teaspoon (or something similar), press down into the center of each cookie cup, making an indentation deep enough to fill later. Cool completely before removing from the pans.

For the fudge filling
In a large heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water), melt together the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Immediately fill a piping bag, a sandwich bag with the tip cut off, or a cup with a spout and fill each cookie cup. The fudge will harden quickly - if needed, reheat the mixture. Let the chocolate harden before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week
