How is the cookie dough made?

From  a story about Cookie Dough Magic that was produced by Bham Now this past summer, we asked the question… How do they make sure the cookie dough is safe for consumption?

Here was the answer.

“Cookie Dough Magic’s cookie dough is made with pasteurized eggs and heat treated flour. The heating process removes all of the harmful bacteria from the flour and the eggs, therefore leaving you with safe to eat raw cookie dough.”
