Cookie dough is an un-cooked blend of cookie ingredients. While cookie dough is normally intended to be baked into individual cookies before eating, it is also consumed raw.
Cookie dough can be made at home or bought pre-made in packs. Dessert products containing cookie dough include ice cream and candy. In addition, pre-made cookie dough is sold in different flavors.
When made at home, common ingredients include flour, butter, white sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and eggs. If the dough is made with the intention of baking, then leavening agents such as baking soda or baking powder are added. However, these are often excluded in cookie doughs that are designed to be eaten raw. Chocolate chip cookie dough is a popular variation that can be made by adding chocolate chips to the mix.
