Kelsey: Here is the cookie dough Bill ordered from Sadie’s cookie sales.
Mom: Bill ordered cookie dough?
Mom: Bill, Kelsey dropped off the cookie dough you ordered for Sadie’s preschool. I didn’t know you ordered cookie dough. You want me to make cookies?
Dad: {shrug} I thought I was ordering cookies. But mostly, I was just ordering what Sadie was supposed to be selling.
Me: I think I am going to get myself some of that cookie dough.
Mom: You can’t. It’s in the freezer and I don’t make cookies on demand.
Me: I was just going to have some dough.
Mom: You can’t eat dough without the cookies.
Me: Why not?
Mom: You’re not supposed to. It’s bad for you.
Me: I don’t think it’s any worse for you than cookies. And it tastes good. Ice cream companies spent lots of money replicating the taste for chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
Mom: Yeah, but that’s not actual cookie dough. Besides, I have plans for that dough.
Me: Plans? You didn’t even know you were getting it until fifteen minutes ago!
Mom: Yeah, but I’m going to make cookies. Besides, we’re eating dinner shortly.
Me: You really just don’t want me to eat any of that cookie dough, do you?
Mom: Cookie dough was meant to be cooked.

Hah! My mom warned against eating raw cookie dough too. I suck some behind her back when I was a kid, and ate it guiltily, and I was sure I was going to drop dead momentarily.
The mom phobia about raw cookie dough IS reasonable though: the eggs in the dough aren’t cooked, and raw eggs can be a lot more problematical to eat than cooked ones.
“Mom: You can’t. It’s in the freezer and I don’t make cookies on demand.”
I do.
But it’s annoying having someone poking around in your kitchen messing up your carefully planned concoctions. And Maria’s right, there is salmonella to worry about. I still let Toddler Tone lick the beaters though.

Sure. And if she’d really had plans for it, I would have immediately deferred. But she’d only just found out that she was getting it.
Regarding the raw eggs… meh. One of the good things about cookie dough is that I am disinclined to eat very much of it. It’s an odd combination of super-enticing without being addictive. The best kind of treat!
That prepackaged cookie dough may be pasteurized, come to think of it.
Family Tree: Kelsey is my sister-in-law. Sadie is my neice. Bill is my father.
I doubt any of that is true. 😛
Well no. Pseudonyms and all that. 🙂
Maria: I suck some behind her back when I was a kid
Freudian slip?
No, just poor proof-reading skills. Should be “I snuck some behind her back. . .”
