If you take the cookie dough pieces from cookie dough icecream and bake them, could you actually make cookies?

Question

Theoretically, that is.
I'd rather make my own batter for the cookies, rather than sucking up the icecream and spitting out and collecting the doughy bits.

Answer 1

I saw something on Food Network once, I think it was an episode of "Unwrapped", or an episode of "The Secret Life Of..." where they went to an ice cream factory and it was pointed out that the "dough" in "cookie dough" ice cream CANNOT be used to make cookies.

Two of the previous answerers were correct in saying the cookie dough lacks eggs and baking soda, which helps in the baking process.

Answer 2

Interesting question, I can tell u were eating cookie dough ice cream when u wrote this.lol. how about u eat around the cookie dough bits and ball them all up together and bake it. who knows u might set an unusual trend. Hey, i think it could work besides it is 'cookie dough' ice cream.

Answer 3

I don't know, it might work. The secret to the raw cookie dough in ice cream is that they use pasteurized eggs to prevent salmonella from the raw eggs you would normally use to bake cookies. As far as I know, the rest of the ingredients are pretty much standard. Try it and let us know!! LOL

Answer 4

No. The cookie dough does not contain eggs. Consuming raw eggs is dangerous and that is why you normally should not eat cookie dough (although it never stopped me! yum!). In order to be able to safely consume cookie dough in ice cream, they leave out the eggs.

Answer 5

no, becuase most cookie dough ice cream is laking eggs in the cookie dough mix. So it would not be possible to make cookies out of the cookie dough in the ice cream

Answer 6

sounds feasible, but probably very time consuming and difficult to resist swallowing!!

Answer 7

i think they lack baking soda

Answer 8

Of course you can.

Answer 9

no
