Don't eat raw cookie dough. Yes, it is delicious, but it is pretty unsafe.

This. Salmonella is not fun.

My immune system bitch slaps salmonella.

It is fairly unsafe if you eat large quantities, also the I'd say the unsafeness doubles every 20-30 minutes or so after the eggs are added...

understandable and i respect these concerns, but let's say i was jet-set on eatin' me some cookie dough, and all it came down to was minimizing risk. What would be safer to eat a lot of -- homemade cookie dough or the prepackaged, store-bought stuff you can keep in the freezer? Is there a difference at all?

If the frozen stuff uses powdered eggs, you're golden.

Replace the egg with applesauce or some banana and go to town.

the main thing is once you have bacteria in your food, putting it a in freezer will just about completely stop all bacterial GROWTH (and in a fridge it will slow it down immensely), but it doesn't kill them. so what you must consider, in any microbial situation involving food, is how long the food is out at room temperature (bacteria that thrive in humans also thrive at room temp, hence refrigeration being an effective tool vs. human-attacking pathogens).
So, every 20~ minutes whatever # of bacteria there was in your food -- cookie dough or burrito -- will double while it's not refrigerated. In 2~ hours this is a factor of 64X. I can't estimate how much bacteria is in cookie dough, and I do partake, and I'm fairly confident you can eat like a nice amount but if you're eating as much dough as you would ice cream, it migggght be risky (but also most of the risk would be just a NASTY stomach bug, i doubt you'd have serious life-threatening issues although that can CERTAINLY happen i'm just being realistic).
i imagine prepackaged cookie dough is extremely sterile compared to what you make, so that would be ideal for consuming larger amounts of, especially if it isn't that much worse quality-wise to you.

I love baked baking. My dad is always asking me to make this blueberry lemon cheesecake but it's so tedious I just get stoned before I busy myself in the kitchen for 3 hours - much more enjoyable. Although I do enjoy baking while not baked as well.

I lol'd.

Oh wow. I forgot all about cookie dough.
Nothing goes better with the first snowstorm of the season like raw cookie dough!
To the store!

Make sure you always use pasteurized eggs if you're gonna eat your cookie dough!

SINNER! Every spoonful of cookie dough you eat is an aborted cookie. STOP THE KILLING! Let the cookie dough blossom into its full potential through a ritual of fire and heat (before you devour them), as Nature intends.
Equal Rights for All Cookies!
But what if i forget to set the timer and burn my whole batch!? That like, cookie genocide... I can't handle that kind of pressure!!
ALL THE INNOCENT COOKIES!
a cookies life starts when the chocolate chip joins the dough.
Uptoke, no need for an explanation. Hit the nail on the head.
OMG this is so hilarious, i'm gonna die.
