My 14-year-old daughter regularly bakes brownies and cookies. I've learned to live with it. I figure it is her house as well as mine and she has a right to them, especially since I don't bake them for her anymore. She's not overweight (5'6" and 120 pounds). She doesn't seem to have any problem eating two or three cookies, or one brownie, and then stopping, and she regularly refuses sweets when she is not hungry, so my guess is that she doesn't have an insulin problem.

It gets easier as you get further along into low carbing. I honestly don't want that junk 90 percent of the time anymore. The other 10 percent, I either go for a walk (which usually clears up the cravings) or eat something lowcarb if I genuinely am hungry.
