  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F; line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside. 
  3. In a large bowl, with a handheld mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

  5. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until combined. 
  6. Roll pieces of the dough into 1-inch balls, and place on the baking sheets about 1 inch apart.

  9. Return the cookies to the oven for another 6 to 7 minutes, or until set. 
  10. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 to 2 hours. 
  11. Melt the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup together using a hot water bath; stir until completely melted and smooth. 
  12. Remove the bowl from the water and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. 
  13. When the cookies are completely cooled, use a spoon to fill each indention with the chocolate filling. 
  14. Set aside and let the chocolate cool and harden, 1 to 2 hours.
