<font color=skyblue>Which is better?

Eating it on a spoon, baked into cookies, or mixed in ice cream?

Saying that you do not like cookie dough is considered heresy and you will be cast from my presence.

All of the above! :D :D :D

Eat a couple of spoonfull, mix some with ice cream, and eat that while you wait for the rest to bake. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Cloudy beat me by a milisecond!

<font color=skyblue>You are my true diciples!</font>

You mean disciples?

Yay! I got to correct Larry for once! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

:D He said 'cookie dough' I couldn't help being drawn to the thread! :D

Arnt there raw eggs in the dough though?

Well depending on the cookie. A huge glass of milk in in order.

But yeah all the above.

My daughter had to sell cookie dough for a fund raiser. Cookie dough in a bucket done for you is heaven. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Whenever I get a cookie craving and we have those bake-it-yourself cookies, I always happen to trim down the individual cookie-dough squares considerably. I think eating it raw is the best.

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>

I've never heard of ice cream with cookie dough in it either, sounds too sweet for my taste ;)
I did have ben & jerry's in Ireland (don't know if you've heard of it, ben & jerry's I mean not Ireland [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) that might have had some cookie dough in it but I can't really remember, I wasn't very sober that month.

Almost everything you wanted to know about Salmonella. It's bad news, and the kind we're referring to is closely related to Salmonella tyhpi (typhoid fever) and E. coli.

It doesn't say how Salmonella actually infects egg material except that closely packed hen-houses are a common breeding ground. I don't feel like reading bacteriology articles for an hour to find out the specifics [img]tongue.gif[/img]

From another site.

So depending on the product - pasteurized eggs = eat up!

I love cookie dough too. I don't currently have a fridge though, which would put me at considerably higher risk for bad eggs :D

Yeah, sorry I wasn't clear on that. Salmonella is a nasty thing that you can catch from poultry, but it's not a hereditary disease.

My egg allergy isn't, as far as I know, hereditary either. It developed in relation to a string of events in Japan. Small amounts don't do much, but it's generally a given that I'll refuse to eat anything with obvious large quantities of egg in it. Which is a shame, since I really used to enjoy a good omlet or scrambled eggs. And yes, unfortunately, you can develop allergies like this.

I'm actually not surprised that people haven't heard of cookie dough ice cream, before I left the US, it was increasingly hard to find anywhere. Guess it wasn't a popular flavor choice where I lived or something.

I prefer my cookie dough baked into cookies. I do love cookies-and-cream icecream though, does that have cookie dough or bits of cooked cookie? I don't usually eat raw cookie dough, I love uncooked cake batter but cookie dough not so much.

I love the word cookie though! It has such a yummy sound :D . I grew up calling cookies biscuits, as we tend to do in Australia, and usually I prefer to stick with Australian terms for things rather than use the Americanisms, but cookie sounds so much yummier than biscuit.

Cookie dough is a common ice cream flavor in the midwest.... chocolate chip cookie dough, to be specific :D

Man... I'm hungry now...

These days most store bought products that contain cookie dough will either say they have no eggs in them or the eggs are pasturized.

And apparently the Midwest has the highest rate of cookie-dough eaters! 46% according to one of my links :D
