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?

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.
