{Skinny} Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

{Skinny} Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, made with coconut oil instead of butter. These babies are super moist and fall-elicious! 

Ok, so apparently my sweet little boy has gone on vacation this week. I am hoping he returns next week.

I don’t know how many more … “Nooooooo’s” or feet stomping temper tandrums I can handle.

I know my sweet little boy is in there somewhere because I get glimpses of it every once in a while.

But he is definitely starting too… “exercise his will” and it is .. “exercising mommy’s patience.”

Whooo… Breathe…..

My husband just started to read this “Dare to Discipline” book,  and it looks like I need to join him. I need all the wisdom I can get.

I want Cason to understand that mommy is in charge but not feel like he can’t challenge me every once in a while. Ya know… I don’t want to break his will, I just want him to know that I have the final say.

Ugh… parenting is hard stuff!

But such a gift… I mean look at that cute face. How can you resist that!

These photos were taken during a photo shoot I was doing for a Tuscan Tomato Soup I had just made (recipe coming soon..)

My camera took a little detour to this cutie.. can you blame me!

Even though parenting can be hard… baking AND eating cookies is easy peasy!

I wasn’t much of a baker when we first got married, but since I’ve had Cason and this blog {both my children… hehe} I have started to bake more.

So.. today I am sharing these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I mean why not right… since its fall lets just keep on going with the pumpkin recipes! 🙂

The best part about this cookie recipe is it has no butter, no egg, and less sugar than the normal cookie.

But guess what?

It still tastes amazing! It is moist, sweet, and has an amazing pumpkin hint to it!

Which puts me in my happy place…

So all in all what have we learned today?

If your child has a temper tantrum, make these cookies and stuff your face with them.

Then, all will be well with the world again!
