If you nibble on the dough, you sometimes suffer from diarrhea and stomach cramps afterward – even if it’s a vegan recipe because pathogenic germs could be found in it.
The contamination can occur when animals defecate on the grain, passing on pathogens. If the cereal is later ground into flour, the germs also migrate to the baking sheet.
So the Cookie Dough should be enjoyed with caution. However, if you buy ready-made cookie dough, there is usually no need to worry: Most manufacturers use heat-treated flour.
