Also, i guarantee that there are bugs infesting the flour section of your grocery store and they absolutely hitch rides on the bags home

Good idea to freeze a new bag of flour to kill the bugs/eggs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What kind of bugs are you talking about? Flour mites?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Honestly its been years. I just remember the bugs and that they werent roaches.

Flour isn't stored in sanitary conditions. It's just giant piles in warehouses. This is the real reason that raw cookie dough isn't safe to eat. The eggs are usually fine, it's the flour that's riddled with disease. If you heat it to about 160°F you can eat all the cookie dough you want.

NYT just posted a recipe two weeks back:

Heat-treat the flour: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment, add the flour and spread it into a thin layer. Bake flour for 5 minutes (see Tip). Cool flour completely.

But my favorite hobby at home was spooning raw flour into my mouth and washing it down with melted crayons…

At that point....it ceases to be cookie dough.

Are you saying that substituting apple sauce for eggs doesn't make them safe?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago

Sorry, I meant that you heat the flour to 160°F, then cool and mix it it into the dough.

And, yes, I'm saying that substituting apple sauce doesn't make it safe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Oh. No, thank you.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I could have gone my whole life not knowing that and you just walked right in here and said it.

To be fair to the stores, they arrive in the stores on the bags too.
