Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Use about 2 tablespoons of dough per muffin cup, pressing it gently into the wells and slightly up the sides.
Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look set.
Immediately after baking, use the back of a spoon to press down the centers to form a cup shape.
Let cookie cups cool completely in the pan before removing.
To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Pour the hot cream over the 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 2 minutes.
Stir the mixture until smooth and glossy, then let cool slightly to thicken.
Spoon the ganache into each cooled cookie cup and let sit at room temperature or chill briefly to set.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.

Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

Microwave for 10–15 seconds to slightly melt ganache before serving.

Try flavor variations like mocha ganache, caramel filling, or Nutella.

Grease muffin tins well or use liners to prevent sticking.
