Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets). In large bowl, beat cake mix, shortening, butter, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on high speed 1 minute.
2 Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered surface with cloth-covered rolling pin. Cut with 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters into desired shapes; sprinkle with sugar. On ungreased cookie sheet, place 2 inches apart.
3 Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. In microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until melted; stir. Frost cookies. Stir together small amounts of water and food color. Paint colors on freshly frosted cookies, using fine-tip brush, then swirl colors with brush or toothpick to create marbled designs. Dry completely before storing.

I have had problems making sugar cookies so I avoid them but with 7 grand kids coming I wanted to give them somthing to do that would help with Christmas. So I tryed this cookie recipe and it is wonderful. I forgot to get the shortning so I used unsalted butter for the shortning it worked well. Thank you for posting this recipe. I will be teaching my grandkids this recipe so it can be handed down.

Not real impressed. Dough was very soft and didn't really make good cookies.

Love, love, love this recipe. I've been using it every Christmas for the past 5 years! It's the best recipe I've found that still tastes like a sugar cookie without the hours of refrigeration time, which is 2 thumbs up for my kiddos who can be on the impatient side when it comes to using cookie cutters. I recommend this to any mom who doesn't have the time to spend in the kitchen making the perfect sugar cookie!
