I have no intention of personally stopping my habit of eating cookie dough. It is FAR too yummy - and like other posters said -- reminds me of happy moments growing up baking with MY mom.</p> <p>I think I'll wait a little longer to share that magic - but I certainly intend on it. ;)</p> <p>I have seen those recipes for edible cookie dough - it is amazing what people come up with - I have one recipe for cookie dough, squished in pretzels, and then dipped in chocolate. It is UNREAL. Fascinating how using a different ingredients you can replicate the taste of raw cookie dough!</p> <p>(I wrote back the other night on my phone and it looks like the post got lost in the mix :( sorry for being MIA on my own thread!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2859138 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 15:38:21 +0000 Mrsbells 2859138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't let then eat raw dough. Theres been a few issues with raw eggs lately, it just doesnt seem worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2859113 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 14:52:18 +0000 Twolittlemen 2859113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my kids eat it, and lick the beaters of any banana bread, and we all love raw pizza dough. I make pizza every week and we eat raw pizza dough every time. So yeasty and delicious! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2859065 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 13:53:15 +0000 alphagam84 2859065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband hates when I do it and I know he'd throw a fit if I let DD have a taste and the guilt trip I'd give myself if she ever did get sick from it. She can try it when she's much older (like teenager age) and can understand the risks. I got salmonella once and it was awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858954 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 00:52:16 +0000 bees_knees 2858954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my 4 year old and 2 year old lick the spoon. At some point, I have to let them be kids! And that's one of my favorite memories of baking with my mom when I was younger. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858949 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 23:23:57 +0000 Grace 2858949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure as soon as she was old enough to stand on a chair and “help” make cookies. Must have been around 2. I would never worry about getting sick from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858937 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 20:28:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2858937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: I remember rubbing my very pregnant belly and telling my baby that I hoped she understood how much I loved her by not eating the cookie dough. </p> <p>Echoing others that I don’t go overboard but I let them have a taste. I probably started around 3 or 4 with my first, but I know my younger daughter has tried it and she turns 3 next month. If even lettuce isn’t safe, you may as well enjoy the cookie dough and cake batter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858918 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 17:36:07 +0000 theotherstark 2858918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never hesitated to give a taste of raw cookie dough to my kid. I’ve seen far more salmonella and E. coli outbreaks from other sources (lettuces, meat, etc) and I don’t limit those things generally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858905 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 16:35:19 +0000 Caly 2858905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: lol, amen to that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858881 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 14:48:26 +0000 Silva 2858881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all I have to say is, sometimes i think its a miracle my children and I are still alive. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858857 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 13:26:51 +0000 KT326 2858857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sick on Monday and I'm pretty sure it's from the raw cookie dough I ate over the weekend :bummed: That is the only thing I ate differently than the rest of my family. We made chocolate chip cookies and I ate a couple small bites. Thankfully my son that was helping me didn't want a bite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858854 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 13:18:26 +0000 peachykeen 2858854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2016/07/11/raw-cookie-dough-recipe/" rel="nofollow">https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2016/07/11/raw-cookie-dough-recipe/</a></p> <p>It's pretty good and no flour, though you can never be 100% safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858853 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 13:17:01 +0000 peachykeen 2858853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to eat cookie dough by the spoonful but I work in public health and know too much now. I'm not CRAZY about food safety, but am careful about storage, handling, and cooking to the right temp. I will give them just about anything cooked appropriately, but no reason to do the cookie dough. </p> <p>There is a recipe for edible cookie dough using chickpeas though... I'll see if I can find! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858847 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 13:12:46 +0000 LadyDi 2858847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I never knew flour was a risk! Anyway, my son's 3.5 and I would probably let him have a lick. I'm pregnant right now and kind of bummed going into holiday baking season because I'll refrain from eating the raw dough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858828 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 12:36:55 +0000 annem1990 2858828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bake a ton and eat lots of raw cookie dough, cake batter, bread dough, etc. Luckily I’ve never been sick, and to be honest I don’t know anyone who has ever been sick from raw dough! I don’t doubt it happens and of course there’s a risk, but there’s a risk eating almost anything (including produce) raw. </p> <p>I’ve given my 1 year old a small lick of cookie dough once. I’m sure it will happen more and more as he grows. I don’t think I can be hypocritical and tell him no as I eat a spoonful. :silly: Everyone has their own comfort level though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858823 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 12:08:37 +0000 QBbride 2858823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave my daughter some cookie dough the other day and she’s 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858794 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 10:27:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2858794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bake with the already portioned cookies so there’s nothing left over to taste. LO has been introduced to Ben &amp; Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. He has no idea it’s “raw” cookie dough and loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858789 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 10:14:41 +0000 josina 2858789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I probably did with DS at 3 but not sure honestly! After I heard that flour is bad also I tried to stay away - I have a recipe for eggless cookie dough that is sooo good but now I can't even make that. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858775 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 09:43:53 +0000 looch 2858775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Considering they sell edible cookie dough at the grocery store by my house, I'd do that if he was interested (the flour is heat treated). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858749 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 08:50:45 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2858749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RKitty: right I thought the same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858744 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 08:38:16 +0000 skinnycow 2858744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe this makes me a bad mom but I'm pretty sure I let my daughter have a little last year around Christmas (she was 1.5) :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858729 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 08:03:27 +0000 Ajsmommy 2858729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've eaten raw cookie dough my whole life.. sometimes I'll even make up a batch just to eat raw and (knock on wood :silly: ) I've never gotten sick. It's actually a joke between myself and one of my life long friends whenever we see a post or something about it/getting sick we always tag the other.....</p> <p>That being said I have let my DD eat raw cookie dough and def lick the brownie mix bowl but I keep it to a minimum taste, she's 5 now but I probably started letting her do it at 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858712 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 01:13:42 +0000 irene 2858712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I offered but DS won't even consider it lol. I, on the other hand, licked these things and I am glad I haven't gotten sick yet. To be fair I usually bake with oat flour or almond flour... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858711 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 00:33:00 +0000 RKitty 2858711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbubbletea: lol your right she did I just assumed flour lol. Creamed butter and sugar is delicious... but my kids can discover that as an adult on their own... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858710 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 00:29:45 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2858710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RKitty: she said butter and sugar no flour :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858709 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 00:17:02 +0000 crazydoglady 2858709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read somewhere that it's not necessarily just the raw eggs you want to avoid but uncooked flour. </p> <p><a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/a-new-reason-not-to-eat-cookie-dough-uncooked-flour-can-make-you-sick/" rel="nofollow">https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/a-new-reason-not-to-eat-cookie-dough-uncooked-flour-can-make-you-sick/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858708 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 00:14:13 +0000 RKitty 2858708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: actually you run a bigger risk of e coli from the flour then the salmonella from the eggs....</p> <p>I would wait till they were older but I don't plan on sharing it with them. The risk is to high between both the flour and eggs. I do let my two year old lick the frosting spoon.</p> <p>There are recipes though for edible cookie dough you could share. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858704 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 23:45:50 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2858704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The trick is to cream the butter, brown sugar and white sugar together and let them taste that without the raw eggs. It’s delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-raw-cookie-dough#post-2858697 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 23:08:23 +0000 meadow 2858697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you personally eat raw cookie dough, how old were your children when you shared the magical deliciousness with them? </p> <p>I was making cookies today and hesitated from licking the spoon in front of my kids because I didn't think I should share it with them yet. </p>
