Cookie Dough

[PinkButterfly]

Okay so I'm having anxiety.. My mother gave me cookie dough, kind of like the pre-cut cookies that you just lay out on the sheet and bake. A man just gave them to her at work, and now I'm unsure on how long they were left out of a refrigerator or if they thawed out from being frozen.. I baked them, and I just had a few and not feeling great. I'm sure its because of the cookies themselves... any opinions or known facts on how long cookie dough could be left out and if its okay if they did thaw.

hmm. I think youll be fine. The last time I violently v* was as a kid after eating cookie dough, but it was RAW and ORGANIC which means nothing that kills the bugs. I think (as it almost always seems to be the case around here) that the fear is giving you the stomach ache, NOT the cookies. If you baked them, any germs would have been killed FLAT, unless you didn't cook them enough (which considering your fear, I bet you did). Just try and clam calm calm down, and youll be fine,

It should be fine since you cooked it. Lots of people eat raw cookie dough and they're fine even though theoretically it can make you sick if the eggs are raw and haven't been washed - they can carry salmonella. But it gets killed with cooking.
