Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and use a pastry brush to lightly grease the cups of a muffin tray with coconut oil.
Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
Using a mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
Add the eggs and dry ingredients to the butter mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix until fully combined. Then, fold in the chcooalte chips.
Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, add the dough to the muffin wells.
Bake the cookies for 14 to 15 minutes until the edges are slightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and use a greased shot glass to press down the centers of each cookie.
Bake the cookies for another minute or two.
Cool the cookies in the muffin tin for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, gently twist the cookies to release them from the tin and transfer them to a wire rack.
For the Chocolate Shell
Add the chocolate chunks and coconut oil to a glass measuring cup or microwave-safe dish and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and heat for another 20 to 30 seconds and stir again. The chocoalte should be fully melted and smooth.

Refrigerate the shots for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
Tips
Add more chocolate than you need to the inside of the cookie cups and rotate them in a circular motion to ensure every part of the interior is coated in chocolate.
Mix your cookie dough until everything is combined, but don't overwork it, or the cookies will be tough.
Pressing the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan is the best way to ensure the perfect cup.
Be sure the chocolate coating is fully hardened before adding the Baileys mixture to ensure the cookies don't get soggy.
