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.

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!

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

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

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.

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'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.
