Answers:
Yes, if it has eggs in it then you can get salmonella poisoning from the raw egg!. It's not something to play around with!.

Salmonella is a big problem with the industrial way chickens who provide eggs are raised and includes forced molting which puts the hens in the dark with no food and water for 10 days to two weeks causing them to lose their feathers!. This leaves them weaker and more susceptible to the salmonella bacteria!. The reason it's done is to stimulate them to produce more and bigger eggs!. Some factories are avoiding this by sending the chickens to their deaths after just one year instead of the standard two (a chicken can live to as long as 20 or so years) but then it's a pretty miserable experience as one of 5 or 6 chickens in a tiny wire cage in a stinking building full of hundreds of wire cages!.

There is cookie dough without eggs (Cougar Mountain Cookie Dough has at least one) and you could make your own by finding an egg-free recipe on the net!. Those would be safe to eat!.!.!. if not necessarily healthy!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are raw eggs in cookie dough, and your right it is so, so good, it won't hurt you if you are making cookies and you have a few spoonfuls but if you make cookie batter, and it has eggs in it, and you just eat the whole thing, then you might get a little sick, but a few bites won't hurt you, it is really good, I love it, and the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is great to!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes it is dangerous to eat raw cookie dough with eggs in it!. Fortunately, there are some kinds that don't have egg in them that are completely safe! Market Day sells egg-free cookie dough!. You can see if the schools in your area do market day, if so, try ordering some! Otherwise, you could make your own cookie dough and eat it before you add the egg!. You could even freeze some of the raw batter!.

I hope I helped! Cookie dough is delicious!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

nah, unless you have a sensitivity to eggs or some sort of immune system problem your body can handle it, but if it gives you the runs youv'e over done it for sure!. but i wouldnt worry, specially the premade dough in the tubes, my husband eats half the thing, the eggs are pasteurized, home made dough is still no big deal, think of all the body builders who eat raw eggs every day too!.!.!.!.just dont use eggs that are old or cracked and you are fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My grandmother would say go for it!. I have eaten plenty of raw cookie dough and I am still around to tell the tale!. A little bit is ok, but too much might give you a little bit of a tummy ache!. You will be fine!. Go for it!. And honestly, raw cookie dough tastes so much better than a cookie!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
