Candy Cane Crinkle Cookies are a skinny version of a quick and easy cake mix cookie!  I promise you won’t miss a single calorie replacing half the butter with fat free cream cheese :)

I’m trying to get into the swing of Christmas around here… I hope you got all your shopping done AND now you can just relax and enjoy the Holiday Season!  Me?  Haven’t even gotten one gift… yes, I gotta get busy.

Happy Wednesday!

Love,

Ruthie
