What it is
Cookie dough is a mixture of ingredients typically used to make cookies, but intended to be eaten raw. It usually contains flour, sugar, butter or shortening, eggs, and leavening agents like baking soda. Manufacturers often add chocolate chips, nuts, or other flavorings.
Why it's used
Cookie dough is primarily used as a flavor and texture component in ice cream and other frozen desserts. It is also sold as a ready-to-eat snack or incorporated into baked goods like cookies and brownies. Its sweet, rich flavor and chewy texture are highly desirable.
Health notes
Cookie dough is not a regulated food additive but a food product. Consuming raw dough carries a risk of foodborne illness from raw eggs (Salmonella) or raw flour (E. coli). The FDA advises against consuming raw dough or batter. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not evaluated cookie dough as a single ingredient for safety.
Allergen info
Cookie dough typically contains eggs and wheat, both of which are among the 9 FDA major allergens. It may also contain milk and soy depending on the specific ingredients used. Gluten is present due to the wheat flour.
