Edible cookie dough does not contain eggs and the flour has been baked so potential exposure to bacteria and other pathogens has been minimized. While most people know that eating raw eggs carries the risk of salmonella many don’t know raw flour can have bacteria like E. Coli. and parasites so it’s important to bake it and kill any unwanted baddies.

• Bring water to 140F (60C) and maintain that temperature for 3 minutes.
• Don’t let the water exceed 142F. Remove eggs and rinse with cold water to bring temp down.
• You can use the eggs to make raw cookie dough now!
