Reminder that cookie dough kept above 40 F/4.4 C but below 190 F/88 C is in the bacterial danger zone that allows bad bacteria to multiply and give you food poisoning.

There’s also some amount of risk from raw dough, but I’m not gonna pretend I don’t ignore that when it comes to cookie dough.

Also note that subsequent cooking doesn’t prevent food poisoning.

That will kill off the microorganisms that are the root cause, but it won’t remove the poison that they already produced.

Just because their corpses are there doesn't mean their shit isn't!

Is there something about cookie dough in particular that makes its temperature danger zone extend all the way up to 190F instead of 140F like most things?

Asking out of genuine curiosity, not to sow doubt. It's been like a decade since I worked in food service and had to know food safety regulations, so for all I know my info is outdated.

Raw egg.

EDIT: Maybe not for the temperature itself but that’s why it is unsafe in general.

That’s what I’ve got in my cooking notes dump for the internal ‘cooked’ temperature for cookies, but that might be a texture rather than a safety thing.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Couldn't you just start with an edible cookie dough? Mostly just a recipe that doesn't use eggs and maybe not milk.

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

In that case I think the real issue would be how long it’s safe to store at room temperature, since edible cookie doughs do still require refrigeration as far as I know. If you popped an edible cookie dough in for 30 minutes you’d probably be fine, the more hours you tack on the sketchier it gets.

Proceeds to take a used car sales job, schedule appointments for people to come see the vehicles and bake edible cookie dough in the windshield and feed them to the staff right before they arrive. Recommend they take a test drive down to mom and pop cookie shop set up by my partner down the street.

Future self: failed at selling cars, but ate a lot of cookies.

[-] Coolcoder360@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The issue is primarily with any bacteria in the food being able to multiply between 40F and 140F. So just not having eggs or milk doesn't mean that it's sterile enough to not need to follow the food safety requirements.

Once you open the can or container of cookie dough it's certainly not sterile anymore and no longer able to be keep at room temperature without possibility of bacteria growing, so even if it was stored in a sterile environment once it's on the sheet it isn't shelf stable anymore.

I don’t need a reminder because I’m going to keep eating cookie dough. 🤣

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 2 weeks ago

Remember to leave your kids in the car to take the cookies out when they done.

[-] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Remember, if you're hot, they're hot. Let them cool off in your portable in-flesh pool.

Best. Air freshener. Ever.

Oh wait I do have a solar cooker already, parked in front of my house. No need to waste time building one. Gotta remember next time it gets hot and sunny!
