Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease muffin tin. Set aside.
Divide Cookie dough into 12 pieces. Roll into 1-inch balls.
Place the cookie balls into the mini muffin tin. Very lightly press. Do not press to form cups.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. About 30 minutes.
When cooled, use a knife to loosen one end. The cookie will pop loose. Remove from the muffin tin. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl add the cream cheese. Whip until smooth. Add the sugar, whipped topping, and the vanilla. Whip until smooth.
If using a resealable bag snip off the corner and add the decorating tip. Add the cheesecake filling to the decorating bag. Pipe about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling into each cookie cup.
Sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips.
Ready to serve immediately. Keep refrigerated.
