    You all might like this article:

    Apparently, it's not the eggs that caused outbreaks in the past. The CDC explored the big cookie dough disaster and discovered it was ......the Flour! Nope. I'm not joking - it was the flour (in the kitchen). Sorry, I had to bring in Clue the game as it was WAY too tempting.

    At that time, the flour used by the manufacturer apparently (per this article) weren't put through a heating process to kill bacteria. They did say in the article that Nestle now puts their flours through a heat process (which means that it MAY be way safer now and um...ready for us to bake - ya right - cookies). Grin.

    If you don't want to go to the link, here are the interesting quotes:

    "The investigators ultimately settled on flour as the likely offender. Flour doesn’t usually undergo a kill step. Also, because it is frequently purchased in large quantities by food manufacturers for use in products, a single purchase of contaminated flour could have been used in multiple lots and varieties of cookie dough over a period of time."

    "But seeing as how raw-cookie-dough junkies aren’t likely to give up their habit anytime soon, the authors suggest that all commercial manufacturers of ready-to-bake prepackaged cookie dough just make stuff safe to eat raw."

    "Nestlé and several other cookie-dough makers have already switched to heat-treated flour."

    Oops. I forgot to say that homemade is probably better for you anyway. Thanks for the recipe. I just love exploring these types of topics.

    You may like this too!

    Apparently, you can pasteurize the eggs yourself. It's the same process as making eggnog. You'll put the eggs with the liquid and heat is at a low heat. Here's the article:

    Basically, you can have your cookies AND eggs in your own homemade mix! Isn't that cool. Thanks for the posting. I never thought to look up how to do something like this but now I understand why Eggnog has to be heated unless you buy the egg whites which are pasteurized in those milk containers at the store.

    Eat sugar, crash your body will want more sugar. Basic science. Hat's off to those of you that can eat this stuff and still lose! Unfortunately I cannot and will live vicariously through you. :-)

    i made this a couple weeks ago. it's just okay. i've also tried the chocolate chip cookie in a mug (from pinterest) and it turned out more like cake which was disappointing. in conclusion, i'd rather just eat a freshly baked cookie. i portion the cookie dough out and freeze all but the few cookies i want at one time. it works for me. :)

    Freeze and limit yourself to the amount you're allowed. Basically, if your only allowed one teaspoon...so be it. That's the torture of dieting. Taste but not eating lots.

    How about this for something healthier?

    I haven't tried it, so I can't tell you if it is good or not. I also do not have the nutritional facts, but I thought I'd put it out there.
