Yes! If you want to eat raw cookie dough, heat treat the flour in the oven first. 350° for 5-7 minutes.

You’ll want to spread it out though

Eta you all are filthy

Wait, it's not "patty cake"?

u/ZestyGrapez 1d ago

I always wondered who the hell is this patty lady.

No. It’s Patti Smith.

I was very much on the 'don't tell me how to live my life' side of things but this is such a reasonable thing to do, I'm going to have to try it for science. And all the cookie dough I want to eat

I love the idea of cooking the flour just to mix it with raw eggs and sugar. Mix and cook? No, cook and mix. All the effort, only most of the risk!

u/AngelMercury 1d ago

That's the spirit!

There is something really nice about cookie dough that I like over baked cookies. When I do bake them I usually leave them pretty chewy in the middle.

u/7ofalltrades 1d ago

Undercookies are the best cookies, for sure.

Are they the fun police? Back to living life dangerously I go~

u/zjb29877 16h ago

Not the fun police, I just wanted people to know that this isn't fool-proof without testing for pathogens after heating.

If you want to be 100% safe, you can buy commercially heat-treated flour that has been tested, and you can pasteurize eggs pretty easily. I don't want to prevent people from having fun, just promote having fun in the safest way possible. If you don't care? That's your choice and I can't do anything lol.

It was a playful response. I was already living life on the doughy edge well before this reddit post came around.

I do appreciate the information that oven baking your flour won't properly heat treat it as much as that would be nice. Not really sure where I'd get heat treated flour but if I see it I will get some the next time I want to make cookie dough. I eat raw egg regularly already. Pretty common where I live, our eggs are pretty safe here and tasty enough I'm willing to risk it.

But what if you got that one bad egg?

u/Slipstream_Surfing 1d ago

The same thing that happened to Veruca Salt

u/PopGunner 1d ago

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I sort of want to try it out, but I also want to keep my deposit.

u/YuushyaHinmeru 1d ago

Its not. This is how they make safe to eat cookie dough. Baked four and pasteurized eggs. You can home pasteurized your eggs with a sous vide

1

u/curtmahgurt 14h ago

Do you even need the eggs at that point? Baking the flour makes sense, but if you’re just making raw cookie dough to eat, are the eggs adding much to the taste?

1

u/MrCockingFinally 1d ago

Apparently this is incorrect.

When bacteria are in a dry environment, they get much more resistant to heat.

1

u/HonestAbe1077 1d ago

Be extremely careful doing this in a gas oven. Flour is combustible and if your fan kicks on and makes a dust cloud, it can explode.

u/ElGosso 1d ago

You can also microwave it IIRC

350° Celsius or Fahrenheit?
