      Starting with my grandmother, I’ve been warned by the various bakers in my life for about 50 years that the various kinds of raw dough I have wheedled them into giving me or snuck off of their work area will give me a stomach ache or cause other issues. The most recent time I was warned in this way was surely less than 2 months ago.

      So far so good, not a single problem, and I never pass up a chance to eat uncooked batter or dough. (Edited to add - if you haven’t tried basic homemade pie crust dough you haven’t lived. It’s not sweet, it’s just good.)

      I am absolutely not saying the risk doesn’t exist, but the chance of it seems so minuscule (based on my anecdotal lifelong experience) that I only ever think about it when someone brings it up.

      If I bought something prepackaged on a grocery store shelf, like from nabisco or whatever, that was undercooked, I wouldn’t eat it. From the kitchen of a relative or right from a bakery - has never given me pause.

      It tastes like cardboard because you’re eating it refrigerated.

      Cookie dough you make yourself is often warm from the melted butter
