How to Make Cookie Dough Safe to Eat
The key to making this cookie dough safe to eat is not only to omit the eggs in the recipe (we use milk instead for moisture), but also to toast the flour before making it. (See this article on making raw flour safe to eat from Honeyville.)
Raw flour is not recommended as safe to eat because it can harbor harmful bacteria. Toasting the flour for just 5 minutes is enough to kill the bacteria, making this raw edible cookie dough safe to eat without worry!

Are you not seeing the recipe card at the end of the blog post? I can try to troubleshoot if it is not showing up for you, it may be a tech issue
Elaine says
Hi,
I guess we have a tech issue. I double checked, and still no amounts
for the ingredients. I tried printing the recipe card, hoping the amounts would show up. No luck.
I don't know what else to try.
Take Care, Elaine

If you know how can you send me a screen shot to melissa@thehappierhomemaker.com? On my Mac I can screenshot by clicking command-shift-4 all at the same time then drawing a square around the area. Then I could forward that to my developer to see if they can figure out why it isn't working properly for you. So sorry about that
