    No honey. If it did, I would be dead right now. I love cookie dough. I eat it all the time. I would rather have dough than baked cookies. You should be fine to eat it. enjoy!

    The amount of people who actually get sick from raw eggs is insignificant. I live in Washington state and the last person to get sick from raw eggs was in the early 70's. Although there is always a risk when eating anything raw, raw cookie dough won't hurt you because the risk is negligible.

    As long as you don't eat like a gallon or so of it, you'll be fine.

    But then again, if you eat a gallon of anything you'd get sick... ;)

    I love cookie dough, and I've eaten soooo much raw cookie dough already... I've never been sick. A friend of mine ate some that was a little older or so (it was pre-packed cookie dough), and she got sick of it. But as I said, it was OLD then. So just take fresh eggs and everything will be fine.

    The only danger is the raw eggs in it. BUT people drink raw eggs everyday in power drinks on purpose. I eat raw dough all teh time.

    If it did, Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream wouldn't be on the market!

    I have never gotten sick from it, and I've been making it from scratch for 30 years.
