You guys know I have a sweet tooth and when I made my husband those real deal chocolate chip cookies a few weeks ago for his birthday I probably ate like 5 cookies worth of dough in the process…and it got me thinking. I wonder if there is a way to make healthier cookie dough that also won’t put me at risk for salmonella if I eat it raw. Bam!
