Also, i guarantee that there are bugs infesting the flour section of your grocery store and they absolutely hitch rides on the bags home
Former grocery store worker.
Flour isn't stored in sanitary conditions. It's just giant piles in warehouses. This is the real reason that raw cookie dough isn't safe to eat. The eggs are usually fine, it's the flour that's riddled with disease. If you heat it to about 160°F you can eat all the cookie dough you want.
NYT just posted a recipe two weeks back:
Edible Cookie Dough
But my favorite hobby at home was spooning raw flour into my mouth and washing it down with melted crayons…
EXCUSE ME?
At that point....it ceases to be cookie dough.
Are you saying that substituting apple sauce for eggs doesn't make them safe?
Sorry, I meant that you heat the flour to 160°F, then cool and mix it it into the dough.
And, yes, I'm saying that substituting apple sauce doesn't make it safe.
I could have gone my whole life not knowing that and you just walked right in here and said it.
To be fair to the stores, they arrive in the stores on the bags too.
Oh. No, thank you.
What kind of bugs are you talking about? Flour mites?
Honestly its been years. I just remember the bugs and that they werent roaches.
Good idea to freeze a new bag of flour to kill the bugs/eggs
