RAW COOKIE DOUGH SHOP
People have been standing in line for up to three hours at a month-old New York City shop that sells scoops of raw dough in a cup or a cone like ice cream. The name of the store is DO (pronounced “dough”; see clip below) and has been selling 1,500 pounds of cookie dough a day at the Greenwich Village storefront. Kristen Tomlan, the 28-year-old founder of DO, says her products are made with heat-treated flour and pasteurized eggs so they can be eaten raw. The store sells baked cookies as well as raw dough, but most people come for the raw dough.
* So there’s a lot of dough in dough.
* They first got the 1,500 pounds of cookie dough from Mike and Molly’s recipe to bake cookies.
* I find this concept hard to swallow.
* Just thinking about three-quarters of a ton of cookie dough makes me need a drink of water.
* You know you have a serious eating disorder if you’re waiting 3 hours in line for cookie dough.
* Enjoy it while you can. You know a big corporations about to sweep in here and take over this whole idea.
* Imagine all the cookie dough in your guts. They should give you some laxatives on the side.
* Next: Deep-fried raw cookie dough.
