| Yesterday I reported that a number of foods were possibly linked to over 60 E. coli cases in 26 states. Today it seems that the guilty party - Nestle's Tollhouse Cookie Dough - has stepped forward and issued a recall. FYI, it's just the refrigerated cookie dough that seems to be the problem, and they say that none of the dough has tested positive for E. coli (yet) so we don't have a definitive link to this latest outbreak.
If you DO have Nestle's Tollhouse Cookie Dough in your fridge, DON'T EAT IT RAW. Cooking it at 165F should kill the E. coli although you might want to just throw it away or take it back to the store as a precaution. Chocolate chip cookies are easy enough to make yourself and if you plan on simply eating cookie dough, you can leave the eggs out of the recipe, which I am including below. |

2 sticks butter
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs - omit if eating cookie dough raw
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
2 c. flour
1/4 c. instant oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 bag of chocolate chips (about 12-16 oz)
Soften butter. Cream butter and sugar together. Mix in eggs (if using), salt, and vanilla. Gradually mix in flour, oats, and baking soda. DO NOT OVER-MIX. Mix in chocolate chips. Preheat oven to 350F. Place hunks of cookie dough on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350F for 8-10 min until the edges of the cookies are golden. |
