1	box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white or yellow cake mix
1/3	cup shortening
1/3	cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2	teaspoon vanilla
1	egg
1	container Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy frosting (any flavor)

Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix about half of the dry cake mix and remaining ingredients except frosting, using spoon, until thoroughly mixed. Stir in remaining cake mix. Break up any lumps with fork.
Divide dough in half. Roll each half 1/4 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered board with cloth-covered rolling pin. Cut dough with 2 1/2-inch bell- or heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 6 to 8 minutes or just until set (centers will be soft). Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Decorate cookies as desired with frosting. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Special Touch

Pipe guests' names on frosted cookies for unique place cards (and great munching at the end of the meal).

Variation

You can try as many variations of these cookies as there are reasons to celebrate. Sprinkle with red decorator candies for Valentine's Day, green candies for St. Patrick's Day, yellow for Easter--the possibilities are endless!

This recipe was great! I had planned to make classic sugar cookies but it was getting late the night before Valentine''s Day and I didn''t want to wait for them to chill for 2 hours. These were wonderfully easy and easy to cut out! Make sure they are not rolled thinly, though, because the edges will burn without the center cooking. And when removing them from the baking sheet if they were too soft they would break. Other than that, YUM! I used a decorating glaze to frost them.

These cookies came out very well! My daughters, 16 and 12, made this recipe for Valentine''s Day to hand out to friends. The cookies tasted really good. They held their shape very well through baking. The recipe was very easy to follow and they had no problem rolling the cookie dough out. Their friends were really suprised and pleased. Good recipe!

I have not tried this recipe, but one similar. It works well with just about any flavor cake mix, and also works as slice & bake cookies. Roll dough into a log, wrap in waxed paper & refrigerate. Slice & bake as directed.

I''m excited to try this recipe. I KNOW it will be good because it is a variation on a theme that I have been using for years. The original recipe calls for any Betty Crocker cake mix, two eggs, and 1/2 cup oil. Mix & bake 10 min. @ 350. Like someone else said, "Soft and chewy". Thanks, Betty Crocker, for making an improvement on an already simple, easy and delicious cookie.

This is a quick, fun & delicious recipe. I made the dough ahead and refrigerated for a couple of hours. Then my grandkids and I had a great time cutting out Valentine cookies and decorating. Very easy to follow, tastes great!
