On a lightly floured surface, roll thawed pie dough into a thin round. Use a 2 1/2 -inch round cutter to cut out circles. Press rounds into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased mini muffin tin. Spray the pie dough lightly with cooking spray and bake until golden and crisp, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool completely.

In a small bowl, microwave to melt 1 cup mini chocolate chips with vegetable oil, stirring to combine well. Working one at a time, dip the cooled pie shells into the chocolate, coating the top rim and letting excess drip off.
