Cooking Instructions

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• In large bowl, combine half the dry cake mix with butter, egg and vanilla; mix thoroughly with large spoon.
• Stir in remaining cake mix and oats; mix well.
• Divide dough in half.
• On well-floured surface, using a well-floured rolling pin, roll each half to no more than 1/4-inch thickness.
• Cut dough with 3-inch snowflake or other large holiday cookie cutter.
• Place about 1-inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
• If cookies will be used as tree ornaments, poke a hole at the top of each cookie with drinking straw before baking. (Repeat immediately after baking if hole closes.)
• Bake 6 to 8 minutes or just until set (centers may still be soft).
• Carefully remove to wire rack; cool completely.
• If desired, decorate cookies.

Cook Note:

Decorating Ideas:

· Sprinkle with colored sugars, candy sprinkles or small candies before baking.
· Sprinkle baked cookies with powdered sugar as they cool.
· Frost cooled cookies with homemade or ready-to-spread frosting. Sprinkle with glitter sugar or colored sugar.
· Squeeze melted dark or white chocolate, decorator frosting or decorator gel in tubes onto cooled cookies.

Note: Dragees (small silver and gold ball-shaped decorations) are inedible and should only be placed on cookies that will be used for decorations and not eaten.
