About Edible cookie dough

Edible cookie dough is a safe-to-eat version of traditional cookie dough, typically made without raw eggs or untreated flour to eliminate the risks of foodborne illnesses like salmonella or E. coli. Originating in Western cuisine as a treat for those who love raw cookie dough, it has grown in popularity and commercial availability. Nutritionally, edible cookie dough is a calorie-dense food, primarily composed of carbohydrates and fats, with moderate protein levels depending on the ingredients. It's often high in sugar and may include mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, contributing to its caloric and nutrient profile. Homemade versions can be altered for health considerations, such as using whole-grain flours or sugar alternatives. While not inherently nutrient-rich, small portions can provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content.

Health Benefits

• Contains small amounts of protein, especially if made with nuts or alternative flours like chickpea flour.
