CELEBRATION COOKIES
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)
1. 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.

Yum! I haven't tried cake mix cookie recipes yet - but this one sounds like it would work well.
We're making Strawberry Shortcake (Squirt and I) today. A favorite for us all. Squirt is licking the batter off the beaters and bowl now as visit blogs. Happy Valentines Day.
