Tumblr’s got you covered:
eating flour straight form the bag lol
Crying laughing so hard at this lmao
All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.
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.
Wait what
What’s going on with the flour? Fungus?
Raw flour may be contaminated with harmful bacteria such as E. coli.

You’re not going to like this, but the answer is rat poop. Before it’s packaged it’s often stored in large open piles in warehouses.
Just skip the eggs entirely for a longer shelf life and more delicious, nutritious butter in your health food.
But it’s more work to make edible cookie dough than cookies, and edible cookie dough has a shorter shelf life, so I personally don’t understand the appeal.
It tastes better to me. 🙃
Eggs are hermetically sealed. As long as they aren’t covered in bird shit when you handle them, pasteurization is not needed.
I would at least rinse off the egg shell before cracking, personally, and when I make raw cookie dough to serve to others, I make sure I follow all food handling best practices since I’d be horrified to give someone food poisoning, as unlikely as it may be.
There’s also this:
While most bacteria including Salmonella are found on the shell itself, Salmonella can sometimes get inside an egg or it can already be inside an egg when it is laid.

The flour is the biggest question mark.
There is never any flour inside the egg when it’s laid.
OK, but it’s still recommended to properly handle eggs, too. It’s not like it’s difficult to pasteurize eggs. You need a pot of water, a stove, and a thermometer.
The egg is only there to help bind it while it bakes so the butter doesn’tmelt and turn it into goo. If you are going to eat the dough just leave out the egg, it doesn’t do anything.
You can eat raw eggs. Raw flour is the question mark.
If your egg is clean on the outside where does the bad bacteria come from? Because its not from inside the egg.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Don’t shoot the messenger.

*unless you are American and your retail eggs must be washed legally, thereby having their protective coating removed.
Leave out the eggs and bake the flour at 350f/177-177C for a few minutes first.
This is true, but also I will always lick the spoon when making coookies.
Me too! And the bowl, and the whisk, and …
I’m shocked that there are shops that sell inedible cookie dough… why would you want such a thing?
'cause it’s delicious.
I would expect edible cookie dough to be much more delicious than inedible.
I don’t know how people make cakes and cookies witbout eating it raw. It seems to be an american thing. Am I the only Australian eating cake batter and cookie dough?
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.
Can you pasteurize the dough with sous vide to make it safe to eat but not change the texture?
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.
Ah man raw flour is my favorite.
Raw eggs are no problem I’ve seen Rocky
the risk mostly comes from the flour
Make vegan cookies, problem solved
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
Cook the dry ingredients at 350f/176-177C for a few minutes first and do not add eggs if you are doing this to reduce risks.
From raw vegan cookie dough? No :)
#govegan
The flour isn’t clean though.
Lol at all the down votes. Clearly what you said is greatly offensive.
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.
Just the word “vegan” is triggering for some people.
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.
