A friendly reminder to NOT eat raw cookie dough this holiday season!
Amidst the dozens of recall warnings issued by government agencies this year, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) just popped up again to remind us that we should most definitely not eat raw cookie dough this holiday season.
Pretty much anything with raw dough or batter can make you sick, the organization explained. That's because not only is the flour you use for baking usually raw (and therefore untreated for bacteria like E.coli), raw eggs also carry a risk of salmonella for all those who consume them. The CDC insists even a small taste of batter puts you at risk for getting sick.
Luckily the food editors at Delish.com have a few workaround recipes should you just not be able to avoid temptation. That said, please listen to the CDC!
Happy Baking
