Line an 8 × 8 inch or 9 X 9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil; set aside.
Cookie Dough:
Combine butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand or handheld mixer; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla, salt and half-and-half; add flour; mix until just combined. (DO NOT OVER MIX.)
Fudge Base:
Combine brown sugar, butter, salt and half-and-half in a medium saucepan; stir over medium-low heat until butter is melted and brown sugar is dissolved; remove from heat; slowly stir in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until mixture is smooth and sugar is incorporated throughout. Stir in vanilla. Add more powdered sugar, if desired. The more powdered sugar you add, the thicker, firmer, and sweeter the fudge will be. (5 cups is pretty good.)
Add cookie dough to the fudge base; stir to combine. At this point, the mixture should be cooled to room temperature. If not, continue to stir until it's no longer warm to the touch. Fold in chocolate chips.
Spread fudge into prepared pan. Chill until set, about 3-4 hours.
Cut into squares.
