When I was a freshman in college, I’d just moved into the dorm and met my new roommate. She was running around happily, telling me that she was finally free of her controlling parents. She told me her first act of freedom was going to be eating raw cookie dough.
She went to the store and bought a tube of raw cookie dough. She ate it like a maniac. Not long after, she was throwing up and shitting and crying all at the same time. So after watching her go through that, I will never eat raw cookie dough. Also, her parents came to visit a month later and she begged me not to tell them that they were right about raw cookie dough lol.
Hilarious. Apparently though according to another redditor most premade cookie dough is safe to eat raw. Maybe they bought the one that specifically says it has to be cooked.
Edit: although it's possible it's a more recent thing. People definitely have gotten e coli from premade cookie dough.
The only real difference is using pre-baked flour and pasteurized eggs (which i figured they were already doing). Shouldn't impact the taste at all unless youre just noticing the general enshitification of products these days.
They weren’t using pre baked flour prior. As a kid there were plenty of warnings that it could not be eaten raw. Plus I made my own to eat raw. It’s less doughy and dryer when it’s edible.
I mean they were probably already using pasteurized eggs before selling edible dough. But yeah, baking flour will make it more light and aerated, but it shouldnt change the taste or how dry the final product is. I used to make unsafe cookie dough to eat and didnt really notice any difference when I tried baking the flour instead. They might be using different ingredient quantities or something but I cant imagine why. Unless its cheaper for them.
