Edible cookie dough

Cookie dough designed specifically for eating raw (such as that found in ice cream) is made either with pasteurized eggs or without eggs at all and heat-treated flour.

We do not recommend baking our Bite-Sized Edible Cookie Dough [flavor/products]. It does not contain eggs or leavening agents, which are key ingredients in developing texture and lift in baked cookies.

Some companies make edible cookie dough and brownie batter that you can find in stores. These products are made with heat-treated flour and pasteurized eggs or no eggs. Read the label carefully to make sure the dough is meant to be eaten without baking or cooking.

Most cookie dough is made with eggs. Edible cookie dough, which is meant to be eaten raw, is either made without eggs or is made with pasteurized eggs. The lack of eggs (or pasteurization of the eggs) almost completely eliminates the risk of salmonella. Why is cookie dough so good?

While heat kills the bacteria, eating raw cookie dough (and similar mixtures, like cake batter) poses risks of food poisoning. E. coli and Salmonella can cause food poisoning symptoms like nausea, vomiting, cramps, and diarrhea. These unpleasant symptoms can last from several hours to days.

Cookie dough contains raw eggs

Eggs are commonly contaminated with Salmonella bacteria ( 1 ). Salmonella infection is characterized by fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping beginning about 12 hours after consuming the contaminated food, and typically lasts up to 7 days ( 1 ).

But can you eat raw flour? Eating cookie dough with raw eggs mixed in is unsafe, and raw flour isn't safe to eat either. Raw flour is one of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) top-listed items associated with foodborne illness and food poisoning, along with raw meat, eggs, and seafood.

The milk replaces the eggs in this edible cookie dough recipe. I recommend starting by using 3 tablespoons of milk. Then after all the ingredients have been mixed together (except for the chocolate chips) add more milk to reach your desired consistency.

Is it safe to eat edible cookie dough while pregnant? ›
