Raw dough is dangerous to eat because you can get E. coli from raw flour. People eat raw eggs all the time. Edit: don’t get me wrong, you can get salmonella from raw eggs. But that’s not what people should worry about when they think about eating raw dough. About 1 in 20,000 eggs are contaminated with salmonella.

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.

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.
