Eggs at room temperature

Anonymous
I just realized I left eggs out on the counter for about 5 hours. I just put them back in the refrigerator. I want to use them to tonight to make sugar cookies for tomorrow. Are they safe to use? I googled this but am getting differing answers.

They are perfectly fine. No need to worry.

If you are cooking them, they'll be fine. But don't eat the cookie dough. Made this mistake a couple of years ago and ended up with food poisoning (no one else in my family ate the dough or got sick). Not fun.

OP here. Thanks to all for the responses. Made the cookies, enjoyed by all, no one got sick.
