Cookie dough is trending, both for baking and just for eating.
Grocery stores stock refrigerated ready-to-eat dough – and specialty retail stores are rising to do the same.
Cookie Dough Bliss, which makes safe-to-eat-without-baking cookie dough, intends to open in The Shoppes at Village Walk at 7643 Gate Parkway north of Ikea.
It offers more than 20 flavors, such as Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl, Brownie Batter, Oatmeal Raisin and Andes Mint. It’s also served in waffle cones and dough pies.
Cookie Dough Bliss also will offer ice cream, cookies (of course), Cookie Dough Shakes and Bliss Sundaes, with vegan and gluten-free options available.
But didn’t Mom always say not to eat raw cookie dough because the raw eggs in it might make you sick? Well, foodsafety.gov says it is safe to use pasteurized egg products in foods that don’t need to be cooked, and that’s what Cookie Dough Bliss uses.
In fact, don’t bake the dough. It’s made to be eaten as is.
It is expected to open by early August.
According to the Concord, North Carolina-based company’s website, Jacksonville and Orlando are the first locations in Florida.
