In the Raw....

Wow! Title kinda makes you wonder what we are going to write about, huh? Well, it is one of my favorite things in the world to put in my mouth. It is sweet, gooey, yet smooth and chunky at the same time and so satisfying...and I like it raw. Chocolate Chip cookie dough batter of course!!!! My all time favorite thing to eat. It works for all occasions: PMS, a fight, a celebration, a sweet tooth- you name it, it works for anything. I have bought the roll kind to pick some off a little at a time, the break and bake to pop a whole raw cookie in my mouth, the tubs of the cookies that you just spoon some out and bake but my favorite is HOME MADE dough! Who doesnt love to take a scoop on your finger or lick a beater? I will tell you who: my husband. OMG! He seriously thinks it is gross to eat raw cookie dough! What? (and I married this man? jk!) He has some hang up about the raw eggs and making me sick. I tell him if Rocky can drink raw eggs, why can't I eat them with sugar and chocolate?? So this past weekend we make some cookies. (I have to add here we are on the quest for the PERFECTLY made chocolate chip cookie. We think we have the recipe but it is all in the preparation, but that is another story for another day!) I think "YES!" and "YUM!" So we get to makin' the cookies, I'm all happy, mixin' away when I go in for a taste and baby yells "NO BABY! Raw eggs!"  I now think "HUH?" and "WHAT?"  No cookie dough? NO! Especially now with the egg recall he tells me. OK-so I concede because of the egg recall (well I still had 2 or 3 little bites). But why suggest the cookies in the first place? That was a waste of good batter in my book! Well, I guess not a total waste, the cookies still seemed to end in my mouth which in turn ends up collecting on my butt but thats a whole other issue. I just don't understand depriving me of joy! LOL! I'm just sayin...


Yeah Baby!!!!  oh....  you were talking about cookie dough in your first few lines..  got excited for a minute!!  Reading on I'm just grossed out!  Raw dough with RAW eggs??  OMG... gross!  We have made many batches of cookies and yes, we are on the search for the perfect batch!  The first batch we ever made was near perfect, ever since we just haven't gotten it right.  Maybe that is because you are only concerned with the raw dough??  Actually, we have yet to figure out the issue, but that search will continue and we will make the perfect batch!  Ok - so this raw thing you have??  If you like raw eggs, perhaps you will like raw fish? or raw steak? Perhaps some under cooked chicken??  I just dont get it..  you are a germaphobe, have hand sanitizer everywhere and you, YOU of all people eat raw cookie dough??  LOL!  Cookie dough ice cream??  I will eat that but I have no knowledge of the way the cookie dough is put in there... and really it is frozen so it makes it ok, right??  LOL!  I'm sure there are lots of people who enjoy the raw cookie dough but really, isnt it better when it is cooked, right out of the oven with a big glass of cold milk??  To me that is the best form of cookie or dough for that matter!  I'm just sayin....
