1 Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). In large bowl, mix about half of the dry cake mix, the shortening, butter, vanilla and egg, using spoon, until thoroughly mixed. Stir in remaining cake mix. Break up any lumps with fork.
2 Divide dough in half. On lightly floured cloth-covered board, roll each half 1/4 inch thick 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 sheets.
3 Bake 6 to 8 minutes or just until set (centers will be soft). Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Decorate cookies with frosting. Store loosely covered.

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!
