Suppose I were to sample a group of random people and inquire as to whether or not their favourite component of making cookies when they were children was sneaking chunks of raw cookie dough behind their mother’s back. In that case, I suspect the overwhelming majority would agree.
Most folks I know love cookie dough, and I happen to love it myself. What is not so lovely in the equation of eating raw cookie dough, however, is the probability of getting sick because of certain raw ingredients required to make it.
I used to eat more than enough raw cookie dough as a child, and I don’t recall ever getting sick. That is not to say eating copious amounts of cookie dough is healthy in any case, but I do miss eating it.
While grocery shopping with my mom recently, I spotted something in the butter section that I had never noticed before. Called Yummy Doh, the product itself is raw cookie dough, but it is marketed as safe to eat because it is vegan. I wanted to try it, so I grabbed a container of the Chocolate Chunk flavour.
The Chocolate Chunk and Strawberry Confetti flavours were the only two available in the store I was shopping in, but on their website, there are a few more flavours listed. I grabbed the Chocolate Chunk variety because chocolate chip cookie dough is, in my opinion, the best flavour, and after trying it, I can say it is pretty good.
Granted, it doesn’t taste like homemade cookie dough, but this is likely because it is vegan and contains different ingredients that allow it to be safe for consumption. It is a bit pricey, so I imagine it will be a treat here and there, but if you’re a fan of cookie dough, I do recommend trying it out.
