People say it's super bad for you, well so is smoking, so if a smoker wants to smoke then do that but don't you dare judge me for eating my cookie dough! At least cookie dough smells amazing. Smoking doesn't at all.
@Ediblediane: the raw egg is only bad, if this is store bought cookie dough. If it's homemade and eaten immediately, it's no worse than drinking eggnog. As long as the eggs aren't bad.
