Left dough out
 
I went shopping the other day and came home and put the groceries away. The next
day, just about 24 hours later, I found I had missed a package of that ready
made Tollhouse cookie dough out on the counter. I put it in the refrigerator,
but I'm wondering now if it will be safe to use? Any ideas? It's one of those
flat packages with 24 little squares of dough that you break apart into
individual cookies. Thanks.

I would not. It contains egg and most likely dairy.

Toss it, it isn't worth finding out for sure if it is still good.

I would probably go ahead and use it, though...the eggs, I am sure, are pasteurized for
those buyers who eat raw cookie dough...my son used to eat the commercial dough
raw all the time, and I am sure he still does, with no ill effects. Left-out dairy would smell
bad if it got soured within the mix. So if the squares smell bad, you will be able to tell they
are bad.

Also, you will be baking them. Whatever, it cost, what, under $4? It is up to you.

Personally, I would not eat it, but then I saw that horrible story about
that woman who died from eating raw Nestle Tollhouse cookie dough, and it
hadn't even been left on the counter for 24 hours. I realize that yours
won't be raw, but it's just something that my mind couldn't get past.

I can't imagine a tube of raw cookie dough costs all that much to worry
about. Toss it and buy another tube of dough. I'm pretty sure this
time of year you can find online coupons for it, too. There sure are
enough Holiday ads on TV for slice/bake/decorate sugar cookie dough.

It's got so much sugar in it, it won't go bad
that quick. Baking will kill all the bacteria
and neutralize their toxins, so it's no problem
at all.

But if you're a food paranoid, by all means
toss it, along with anything that contains
wheat gluten, GMO's, or was exposed to
electromagnetic fields.

Does that stuff come with a warning, or did she just have some unusual condition?

I'm too cheap to buy all that ready made dough, so I know not of any warnings.

Is is more expensive to buy ready made dough than to make them from
scratch? Toll house cookies are pretty much the same as chocolate chip
cookies. Flour, sugars, baking powder, a couple eggs and a little
vanilla extract are relatively inexpensive kitchen staples. Butter or
shortening... you are starting to talk money. The big cost is the nuts
and chocolate chips. I have no idea how much it costs to buy that, but
I would think that if it is under $6 it would be a bargain.

Is that the point?

I make my own cuz I have control over it. Organic flour, organic
butter, orgo milk, orgo etc. Yes, it costs more. Any GMO's in my
dough? No! ;)

No doubt. It would be silly to expect better food to be cheaper. ;)

How do you know it's organic? Because a label or a sign at the store
says so?

I used to buy a 5 lb tub of chocolate cookie dough from Costco. It was dirt cheap and I'd make a baking sheet of cookies anytime I wanted. Just use an ice cream scoop for perfect cookies. The cookies would be warm and soft and better than anything that I whipped up myself. That stuff in the tubes kind of suck in comparison.

Dsl1, I think the OP was talking about the packages of dough that is formed into cubes, and
the home baker separates the cubes into individual ones, and places them on the cookie sheet.
They are different from the dough in a tube, although they be made the same.

Thanks, I think you're right about that. I have seem those packages. Could they make things even simpler? I think not! All they need now is cookies in a pan that you just toss in the oven where it unwraps itself. :-)

They used to have that. I saw someone buy it. A guy with a little boy. As
soon as he was out of earshot, I made nasty comments to my mom about it. I
just couldn't believe it! This was back in the 80's. The pan of cookie
dough was selling for $3.29 and it made one dozen cookies. I was
envisioning how many cookies I could make for that amount. Probably
hundreds!

I was jonesing for gingerbread cookies, so I bought one of that type
because I knew I wouldn't make them for myself.... and it has been
sitting in the refrigerator ever since. I need to check the
expiration date. It has probably been sitting around too long.

Why on earth would you be so snarky about it? It's his money, not
yours and they were going to share some man in the kitchen. There's
nothing wrong with that.

My first thought was this guy was probably a weekend dad. My second
thought was hey, he could have just bought a package of cookies but
instead he bought something they could do together. I doubt he needed
*hundreds* of cookies.

I also doubt the claim, even in the 1980's, that $3.29 would net
hundreds of cookies. Maybe if they were just plain jane boring sugar
cookies...

My Swedish step-mom gave us some gingerbread cookies. They were kind of
thin and contain no molasses. I guess we'd call them gingersnaps over
here. I should make her some real gingerbread bread and show her how to
do it right. :-)

It is something you don't expect to see men do with their sons - sorta like a mom teaching her son to throw a baseball.

I'll belabor the point. I could probably have cranked out some very
bland cookies for that price but certainly not hundreds. The basic
ingredients for baking and making tasty cookie dough would have cost
more than $3.29 (that's a funny number) even in the 1980's.

It ain't all about money. It's about more healthful ingredients and superior taste.

Let's get it straight. You said you are too cheap to buy the ready made
rolls. Let's not delude ourselves into thinking that from scratch is
healthy. It may be slightly less health threatening.

It is a way to short cut a domestic chore* --like taping up sheets of plastic
in a shower stall to prevent having to scrub it. As such, it is very
masculine.

*No acquiring ingredients,measuring,sifting, mixing, beating, blending,
preheating, greasing, etc. Just baking, monitoring, cooling, etc.

I didn't think of that one - that's one great father! What I do for the
shower is mix up a batch of bleach and water and fill a hardware store
spray bottle with it. Just spray the shower and there's no scrubbing
needed. If you ask me, I must be a man's man. :-)

I made a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies about a week or two
ago. The 12oz package of chips was on sale for $2.00. Add in all the
other ingredients and I figured about $4-6 dollars for a batch that
made about 5 dozen, not hundreds.

Still a very good deal and I got an idea last week too. Those cookies
come out very soft from the oven. Next batch, I'll use the first bit
to line a pie pan and mold them into a crust. This I'll let sit out
for a few days until they crisp up a bit, then add a plain cheesecake
filling and bake. It sounds like a great crust to me instead of graham
crackers. :)

Yes but keep in mind this was back in the 80's. I used to get chocolate
chips for 99 cents per bag back then.

I have 3 options for the crust and I would appreciate your
advice/opinion and from others too.

1) mold the warm soft cookies into the pie dish and let them harden a
bit, at least overnight.

2) mold them in while soft and add in the cheesecake filling right
away and bake

3) let the cookies harden for a day or so, then crumble them and add
softened butter to mold a pie crust.

What do you think about those options?

I've never done this so I'm open to opinions here. :)

I wouldn't smush homemade cookies for a pie crust, even if not perfect
you took the trouble to make them and likely used good ingredients...
buy a package of store bought... nilla/choco wafers work, Nabisco
makes chocolate grahams too, I suggest you smush Nutter Butter
cookies, then garnish your cheese cake with Reeses Pieces.

I think option #3 will work best.

Thanks for that backup, sf. I thought of that last option 2 days
later and was leaning towards doing that. Your opinion is all I
needed. Baking the cookies today (in a few minutes) and tomorrow I
will make the cheesecake using some of them as a crust. :)

4. Bake the cookies in lightly greased muffin tins; when nearly done,
top with cheesecake filling and pop right back into the oven to make
individual cheesecakes.
