Is it okay to tell a small coffee shop their cookies are super under-baked?

[Anonymous]

It is a trend beyond that bakery. It's difficult to find a regular tasty cookie cooked all the way through. They are also often overly sweet to the point you cannot taste the other ingredients beyond sugar (even the chocolate will get overwhelmed by pure sugar sweetness).

They're using pasteurized eggs. You're safe.

This is Crumbl Cookies’ entire business model.

It’s not necessarily the eggs, but the flour as well.

I’m sure we do riskier things all day than eat raw cookie dough though.

The OP said “borderline”, so maybe they’re wrong, maybe it’s intentional, maybe it’s a preference issue and not actually raw.
So, according to the OP, it might actually be a preference issue. Maybe they need to be steered to the thin and crunchy ones instead of the soft and gooey ones. Either way, the bakery will check the cookies.
