    You can make your own edible cooking dough. You just have to pasteurize the eggs and flour. If I’m not mistaken, I think the flour is more dangerous than the eggs.

    There are even shops which sell edible cookie dough pre-made if you’d prefer the convenience.

      If you’re making it from scratch (with vaccinated chicken’s eggs) and eating it right away, the risk of contamination is very low. It’s industrial mixes and old (or poorly handled) mix that are a problem.

    A few years back, there was a major salmonella outbreak from eating raw cookie dough. Several people died, but most recovered, although i recall one woman who had lots of complications, and will never be right again.

    Don’t eat raw commetcial cookie dough, unless you made it yourself.

    According to an announcement by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), nearly 30,000 cases of cookie dough are being recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination. Though the recall was initiated on May 2, 2024, it remains ongoing.

    The Rise Baking Company (under its subsidiary, South Coast Baking) is voluntarily recalling cases of cookie dough shipped across the nation. The recall includes eight different products sold at Costco, Sam’s Club, and Panera Bread, among others.

    The last guy who asked the same thing got told to go ahead and try. He hasn’t been heard from since. Some say he’s just not finished trying the infinite variety of cookie dough.

      I make edible cookie dough all the time. You just need to bake or microwave the flour for a couple minutes until it hits 165. It doesn’t have eggs, but the odds of catching something from them is super low anyway.

    What’s even better is raw Brownie batter. That shit is fudgy chocolatey goodness that cannot be contained. I use that instead of chocolate syrup over vanilla ice cream and just… you’ll never believe how amazing it is. you can warm the batter up in the microwave (without it baking into a brownie) and drizzle it on with a fork. Just do it already

        No because it’s the flour that is usually the problem. Veganism has no merit in this discussion making the comment unnecessarily self-righteous.

          Most people aren’t aware of why cookie dough can be risky when raw, including the vegan poster here. As long as its not in bad faith its okay to be wrong. Vegans can learn new things too.

        The word vegan scares people. Meanwhile for most it’s the only way to find something in America not lathered in cheese or made with a gallon of milk.
