Tumblr’s got you covered:

If that’s not love, I dont know what is
Why flour and not powder sugar?
For that genuine e coli taste.
If you made me this and it turned out not to be the real thing on the topping I’d be severely disappointed…
Hahahaha that’s awesome
All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.
It’s not just salmonella from the egg, it’s also e coli from the raw flour.
If you want to make yourself cookie dough, remember to bake loose flour for a bit first to kill any microbes in that, too.
You can tank both of those things. You might get sick but they probably wont kill you if you’re lucky. Cookie dough should have some risk, its the only way to balance it.
I was initially mad at this comment but you’re right. Cookie dough is too good. Literally an OP food. The fear of shitting your guts out is the only thing stopping a somewhat reasonable person like me from eating a whole pound of it.
And use unsweetened applesauce instead of eggs! If you get the cheap, bland stuff there’s no difference in flavor, and no risk from uncooked eggs!
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.
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.
Wait what
What’s going on with the flour? Fungus?
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.

Yes, people have gotten sick from Salmonella and E. coli from eating raw flour.
In a flour recall that happened in March 2023, 14 people got sick with 3 hospitalizations.
Here were some others:
- 2021, cake mix recall that led to 16 sick and 7 hospitalized
- 2019, flour recall that led to 21 sick and 3 hospitalizations
- 2016, flour recall that led to 63 sick and 17 hospitalizations
Flour is one of the top ten foods that cause illnesses (source).
Sounds like a USA problem.
Come to Germany, here you can even eat raw pork! It’s called Met and it’s delicous.
Nothing stops you eating raw pork here other than that pork used to be riddled with diseases in “ye good ole days,” and the fear still exists. You can buy it raw and eat it that way if you want.
Some creepy video appeared to me yesterday where a woman poured soda on raw pork and a bunch of worms emerged. Seen it?
From raw vegan cookie dough? No :)
#govegan
Careful with the flower tho, that can get you e coli. But: you can bake it in the oven on it’s own to sterilize it. Then you’ve got yourself safe to eat raw flower
Lmao yeah the flour is the real reason you don’t eat raw cookie dough
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.
The flour isn’t clean though.
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?
As a kid I often got to lick the Mixmaster beaters when Mum was making biscuits or a cake.
Can you pasteurize the dough with sous vide to make it safe to eat but not change the texture?

Can you sous vide the eggs to pasteurize them before you put them in the 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.
Ah man raw flour is my favorite.
Raw eggs are no problem I’ve seen Rocky
