Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, cream together thoroughly:
1 cup softened butter with 1 cup powdered sugar.
Mix in 2 teasps. vanilla extract
Gradually stir in 2-1/2 cups flour
On parchment lined baking sheets, roll dough into balls (use 1 tblsp. or a bit more of dough), making balls around 1-1/4" rd. Place them at least an inch apart.
Bake the balls for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and using your thumb (I use the wooden handle of my pizza cutter, which is approx. 3/4" diam.), make a good sized dent in the center of each cookie ball - make sure you don't go all the way to the bottom!
Return the cookies to the oven and bake another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and slide parchment to counter or table top and allow cookies to cool completely.
For the filling:
In a heavy saucepan over LOW heat, melt:
1-1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate
2 tblsp. butter
2 teasp. corn syrup
Stir until melted - turn off heat immediately when the chocolate is fully melted, stir well and allow to cool slightly.
Using a small spoon, fill each cookie dent with chocolate filling. Cool completely - it'll take a while.
