Why was Nestle Toll House cookie dough recall? ›

Each package of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Cookie Dough is labeled with a "Use or Freeze By" date, which is stamped in ink on the side of the wrapper. Refrigerated Bar Dough may be frozen for up to 2 months, if placed in the freezer before the "Use or Freeze By" date indicated on the package.

If your cookies repeatedly turn out flat, no matter the recipe, chances are your oven is too hot. Here's what's happening. The butter melts super quickly in a too-hot oven before the other ingredients have firmed up into a cookie structure. Therefore, as the butter spreads so does the whole liquidy cookie.

Shearer's Foods, LLC voluntarily recalled the Strawberry Creme Sandwich Cookies after they were found to have plastic pieces inside on March 21, 2024, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

Let's not sugarcoat it: raw dough can leave you feeling crumby. While it is tempting to lick the batter when making cookies, there is a chance of getting salmonella food poisoning and not just from uncooked eggs. “The uncooked flour may also contain bacteria that can cause food poisoning,” says Rybicki.

Follow all food safety procedures and keep refrigerated.

Pillsbury cookie dough, and others like it, are different in that they are meant to sit in the fridge for a little longer than your other frozen raw cookie doughs. You can safely get about two weeks of fridge life out of this type of dough, even after the “best by” date.

How to Tell if Cookie Dough Is 'Bad' Like many food products, deciphering if your cookie dough has kicked the bucket is a matter of using your senses. If it has any visible mold, smells off (pungent/sour), or has developed hard or discolored edges, you've missed your fresh-baked opportunity.

Let the finished cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes prior to transferring to a wire rack. And remember that cooking times are an approximation—when cookies are golden brown around the edges, they should be ready.

Why do you rest chocolate chip cookie dough? ›

Anywhere from 24 to 72 hours. The longer you chill the dough, the more flavor will develop. The flour will also absorb more of the moisture so the thicker and chewier the final texture will be.

Cookie dough freezes well for up to 3 months, so it's a great way to get ahead for the holidays or other busy times. For drop cookies, you don't need to wait for the dough to thaw—bake from frozen. You don't have to bake the whole batch at once—you can bake just 1 or 2 when you're craving a freshly baked, warm cookie.

Adjust leavening agents: Baking powder and baking soda are responsible for the rise and structure of cookies. If your cookies are too flat, try slightly increasing these leavening agents. Conversely, if your cookies are overly puffy and then collapse into flatness, it could be due to using too much leavening agent.

Using too much flour will make your cookies too cakey, so try reducing the flour amount by two tablespoons. Avoid using cake flour instead; try a mix of all-purpose flour and bread flour for a more dense and chewy texture.
