Cookie dough

Cookie dough is a special kind of mixture that's used to make cookies. You know how you mix ingredients together when you're making pancakes or cake? Well, making cookie dough is kind of like that! But the ingredients are a little bit different.

When you make cookie dough, you usually mix together some butter, sugar, flour, and eggs. Then, depending on what kind of cookies you want to make, you might also add things like chocolate chips, nuts, or spices.

The really cool thing about cookie dough is that you don't have to bake it right away! You can roll it into little balls or put it in a container and save it for later. That way, whenever you want to have fresh cookies, all you have to do is take out the cookie dough and bake it in the oven.

Some people really love to eat cookie dough raw, before it's been baked in the oven. But it's important to be careful if you want to do that! Eating too much raw cookie dough can make you sick, because it has raw eggs in it. But if you're careful and don't eat too much, eating cookie dough can be a fun treat!
