Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 bag white chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed peppermint

Instructions
- In a standing mixer, mix your butter, shortening & sugars
- Once combined, whip the sugar mixture on high for 1-2 minutes until lighter in color and texture
- Stir in eggs & vanilla. Be sure to not over mix.
- Pour in flour, soda & salt
- Mix until the dough comes together & then stop
- Fold in white chocolate chips & peppermint
- Cover bowl & place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to rest (this can be skipped, but totally enhances your cookie, so I don't recommend it)
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees

- Smash each cookie dough ball and place the Godiva chocolate in the middle. Fold the sides of the dough around the candy until it is totally covered.
