Pillsbury is finally making it safe to eat a spoonful of cookie dough while baking with its new Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie Dough.
Last year, Pillsbury rolled out its new Strawberry Cheesecake ready-to-bake cookies. The cookies feature a rich cheesecake sugar cookie dough base studded with strawberry-flavored bits. But while the cookies were already a hit, the company has re-released the product with one important change to the recipe: the dough is not safe to eat raw. This means you can pop the ready-to-eat cookies in the oven and enjoy them freshly baked, or you can break off a bit of the Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie Dough and enjoy it straight from the package—without the risk of salmonella.
