Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a standard muffin tin by flipping it upside down and lightly spraying the bottoms of the molds with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Take a heaping tablespoon of dough and press it gently over the inverted muffin tin to create a bowl shape. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to smooth out the edges.
Repeat with the remaining dough to cover 6 muffin molds. Ensure the dough is pressed evenly and no holes remain.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie bowls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the cookie bowls cool completely on the tin for 10-15 minutes to set their shape.
Carefully remove the cookie bowls from the muffin tin by gently twisting them off or sliding a knife under the edges.
Fill the edible cookie bowls with candies, chocolates, or other small treats of your choice. Pack them with cellophane and a ribbon if gifting, or enjoy as a tasty dessert!
