Title: HELP! Will I KILL people with my cookies???!!
Post by: sweetie darling on December 22, 2013, 10:21:59 AM
So, I'm an admitted cookie batter eater. I spent all day yesterday whipping up cookies for our exchange, sampling batter here and there. I woke up middle of the night with tummy cramps that eased up within an hr. and have some mild GI distress this a.m. I figure it was the batter since I didn't eat anything else.

Did baking the cookies snuff out any lingering bad stuff?   :fingers: 
Please don't tell me I have to toss all I made.  :(

I also just read that it could be the flour rather than the eggs that might cause issues - raw, of course. Reports seem to indicate that once baked, the issues resolve.

If you would like me to, I am willing to eat a bunch of the cookies and report back to you with the results.

The culprit is usually the eggs and 5es baking the cookies solves the problem.

The concern with cookie batter is salmonella. Eggs either have it or they don't. It's fairly rare. But... it could happen. If you had salmonella, you would know. Baking exceeds a kill temp (165) so you're fine.

I know ... but in this case, it does help narrow down the causes.  [oink!]
