How can I eat cookie dough safely? I want to make cookie dough ice-cream like the Ben and Jerry's range, however I don't want salmonella.   How do Ben and Jerry's sell make theirs, assuming they don't sell it raw?  Is it possible to cook the egg or dough without changing the raw uncooked feel of cookie dough? Is there a good substitute? (I have tried banana)  
To make cookie dough to eat raw you have a couple of choices:   Leave the eggs out Use pasteurized eggs   I'm not sure how Ben and Jerry's make theirs, but I suspect it is by pasteurizing at some point in the manufacturing process. Leaving the egg(s) out is the simplest method and doesn't make a big difference in the final product (when you are not going to bake the dough). If you want to use pasteurized eggs, they are generally available in supermarkets or you can do it yourself at home. Here is one example of instructions I found through searching the web - How to Pasteurize Eggs
