Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin tin with baking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and both sugars for about 2 minutes, until fully blended. Add in vanilla and eggs and beat until well mixed.

Step 3

Add in flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat JUST until fully combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 4

Using a small 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop, drop into the prepared muffin tin.

Step 5

Bake for 9-11 minutes until the outside of the cookie is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and immediately press an unwrapped candy into the center of the cookie cup. Add a pinch of sprinkles, if desired.

Step 6

Cool for several minutes in the muffin tin. Using a small butter knife, scoop the cookie out of tin and cool on a wire rack.
