What it is

Cookie dough chunks are small pieces of uncooked cookie dough added to foods like ice cream. They are typically made from flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and chocolate chips, similar to traditional cookie dough.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add cookie dough chunks to provide a chewy texture and a familiar cookie flavor. They are most commonly found in ice cream and frozen yogurt, but can also appear in baked goods or candy.

Health notes

Cookie dough chunks are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many common food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'cookie dough chunks' as a distinct ingredient are not usually listed. Concerns about consuming raw dough are related to potential bacterial contamination, which is mitigated by proper food handling and preparation.

Allergen info

Cookie dough chunks often contain wheat (from flour) and egg, both of which are among the FDA's major allergens. They may also contain soy or milk if chocolate chips or other ingredients are used. Gluten is present if wheat flour is used.
