This is a new and easy twist to sugar cookies. The cake mix makes these cookies a snap.

Holiday Cake Cookies

1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (18.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
   Cream together shortening, butter, egg yolks and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Gradually blend in cake mix. Dough will be stiff.
2. Chill 1hour; rolled out, cut into shapes, decorated with colored sugar and sprinkles and place on a baking sheet.
3. Alternately, dough can be used immediately by rolling dough into 1-inch balls. Place on baking sheet and flatten with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in colored sugar.
