Cream butter, sugar, brown sugar, and eggs with your mixer using the paddle attachment. Slowly mix in 2 cups of flour.
Switch to your dough hook attachment. Pour in the yeast mixture all at once. Add remaining 2 cups of flour. Knead dough on a 1-2 speed setting until the flour is fully incorporated (about 3 minutes).

{DON'T PREPARE FILLING YET! Roll dough before melting the white chocolate!}
After dough has risen for 1 hour, roll dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt 2 cups of white chocolate chips and 2 tbsp shortening for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat. Stir well until smooth. If lumps remain, return to the microwave for 10 seconds, stir well.

Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes.
