I hate cookie dough. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I also like raw cake batter.

I hate cookies, but love cookie dough...

<font color=skyblue>Yeah...but not every egg will make you sick. People make chocolate milk shakes and add a banana and 1 raw egg (then blend it up) every morning as a health shake to start the day, and never get sick.

I've never got sick off of raw cookie batter...or for that matter cake batter since its been brought up in conversation.

Sometimes, people do get sick off of raw eggs. That is why the ice-cream company Coldstone Creamery took their cake batter ice-cream off the menu for a couple months until they could redo the recipe. Its back, and has a new egg-free formula. </font>

Why on earth would raw eggs make you sick? I've never ever heard of that...

Raw eggs carry the possibility of salmonella. At least that's what my mom told me when I used to eat the cookie dough before she got the chance to bake the dough.

Personally I never got sick from it, and I have an egg allergy. Or maybe it's a psychological reaction to eggs, but not willing to experiment on myself.

And like T-D-C said, all of the above, but mostly just ala spoon. Baking kills something special in the flavor. :(

Aren't the eggs in eggnog raw? At least the way I make it they are. :D

I only really like cookie dough if it's solely chocolate chip. Even then, I much prefer that gooey, just out of the oven freshness of cookies. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ideally, the whiskey kills the germs. If there are still germs, you haven't used enough whiskey.

Personally, there's actually only so much cookie dough I can eat (about one cookie's worth) in one sitting. Cookies, on the other hand, have no such limit. So I like to set some aside and bake the rest.

What? I never thought that salmonella could be hereditary! Can anyone verify this?

I've never tried coocie dough mixed in ice cream, but it sounds good. The other two I have tasted and liked.

<font color=skyblue>I think you got the wrong idea from Winter Wolf's message. Its not hereditary.

Have you never heard of Cookie Dough Ice cream? At the moment, the best you can buy in stores is Edy's brand (my opinion), but I can make a homemade version that kicks anybody's ass.

Here's my secret, in the event that you want to try this at home:

Make vanilla ice cream in your ice cream maker, but instead of using white sugar, use brown. Brown sugar is a vital ingredient in cookie dough, and so the vanilla ice cream with the brown sugar compliments the cookie dough bits that you mix into it. For texture, experiment with a combination of heavy cream, half-and-half, and milk to get the right texture...because there has to be a certain amount of fat content or you'll have the ice cream turn out too icy...but too much fat will make the ice cream too greasy-feeling in your mouth. </font>
