Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cookies

(I found this on thismamalovestocook blog)

2 sticks softened butter
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ¾ cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 (6 oz) boxes Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites(I've seen these at Wal-Mart in the candy aisle)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars until well combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well mixed. In a separate bowl sift the flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with the chocolate chips and cookie dough bites until just combined.

With a cookie scoop, scoop onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cooked to your liking. For a softer cookie, take out right at 9 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
