  I think it’s more the risk from the raw flour than eggs.

    It’s both in the US, uncooked eggs can give salmonella. But most placed that have “edible cookie dough” use non-raw flour and no eggs so you can actually eat the dough raw safely.

    It’s the flour.

  You can make safe edible cookie dough pretty easily . The eggs aren’t the only issue, it’s the flour itself. If you bake it at like 275F for 30 mins in a sheet pan it’ll sterilize it. For edible cookie dough that won’t be baked you don’t even need eggs.

    Had no idea raw flour wasn’t safe. The store bought safe cookie dough always tastes like cardboard to me

      Starting with my grandmother, I’ve been warned by the various bakers in my life for about 50 years that the various kinds of raw dough I have wheedled them into giving me or snuck off of their work area will give me a stomach ache or cause other issues. The most recent time I was warned in this way was surely less than 2 months ago.

      So far so good, not a single problem, and I never pass up a chance to eat uncooked batter or dough.

      I am absolutely not saying the risk doesn’t exist, but the chance of it seems so minuscule (based on my anecdotal lifelong experience) that I only ever think about it when someone brings it up.

      If I bought something prepackaged on a grocery store shelf, like from nabisco or whatever, that was undercooked, I wouldn’t eat it. From the kitchen of a relative or right from a bakery - has never given me pause.

      If you bake dry flour , remember to NOT use convection.

      It tastes like cardboard because you’re eating it refrigerated.

      Cookie dough you make yourself is often warm from the melted butter
