Method
 

Prepare the Cookie Cups
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until a thick dough forms.
  3. Grease a muffin pan and scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough into each cup.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges look set and golden.
  5. Press the centers of the cookies gently with the back of a rounded teaspoon while they are still hot.
  6. Let the cookie cups cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Vanilla Cream Filling
  1. Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens, adjusting the milk amount for desired thickness.
  2. Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes before filling the cookie cups.
  3. Spoon the vanilla cream into the cooled cookie cups.
Prepare the Chocolate Topping
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and cream.
  2. Microwave in short bursts, stirring until the mixture is glossy.
  3. Spoon a small layer of chocolate on top of the filled cookie cups and let it set.
Chill and Serve
  1. Chill the assembled cookie cups briefly before serving.
