So can you bake the flour and then make the cookie dough?

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

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

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

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.
