- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 oz soft chocolate ganache or fudge pieces (for filling)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough into balls and flatten slightly.
- Place a small piece of soft chocolate ganache or fudge in the center of half the dough balls.
- Top with remaining dough balls and seal edges well to enclose filling.
- Place filled dough balls on the baking sheet spaced apart and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use room temperature ganache or fudge for easier filling.
- Seal edges tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Adjust baking time slightly for desired gooey center.
