Hello internet, welcome to

food

theory

. I would love to continue from there. Let's vlog again. I've eaten a lot of

cookie

dough

in my life. I have never been sick. I always know it's a long shot, but I ate a lot of

cookie

dough

. I'm going to confess right now. Throw the dice. I live dangerously. You play as fast as you can loose. Hello Internet. Welcome to

food

theory

. The program that believes a balanced diet is a cookie in each hand. Anything else on your Christmas. list all i want for christmas is you steph uh all i want is a roll of cookie dough five years later and it still hurts but here's the thing about cookie dough folks it's not like other Delights, it has a dangerous side, like it's legitimately dangerous in some cases.

At one point or another, we've all been told not to eat raw cookie dough, maybe that warning came from your mom, maybe when you're a kid you're reading the FDA website anyway, those warnings come from two main reasons, first, the presence of raw eggs and a potential danger due to the risk of salmonella, but also the cookie dough contains raw flour, a potentially harmful ingredient due to the risks of contamination by E coli and, however, to People just don't care, we eat a lot of it all the time and pretty much every brand of ice

cream

. the sun sells some version of cookie dough ice

cream

, as all cookie dough fans already know, and if the gt live hashtag is any indication, a truly surprising number of you theorists are keto fans, Edible cookie dough ingredients omit the egg and usually pasteurize annoying e coli.

Pasteurization is basically a fancy word for heating it enough to destroy bad bacteria. The thing is, while cookie dough at its basic level simply doesn't have that many ingredients, so at what point do you eliminate ingredients? By lifting them and compressing them into small granules, the cookie dough is no longer real cookie dough. It makes what we see in ice cream, as well as in these strange dough bowl products, actually qualify as cookie dough. Well, it seems to me that the point at

which

something stops being cookie dough is the point at

which

you no longer get a cookie when you

bake

it, so there's only one thing to do if we want to know if cookie dough ice cream contains real cookie dough, we have to

bake

some

cookies

today.

We're testing one of our sweetest theories. Can you bake

cookies

using cookie dough ice cream? Honestly, this one is self-explanatory. There's plenty of cookie dough and ice cream. Can you use it to make cookies? We're going to select all the little pieces of cookie dough from all this ice cream and then we put them in the oven and see if we get a cookie, the first step is to take out the cookie dough, make cookies with it, boom, we're not actually the first to do that experiment, so we're just doing it to show you that it's possible, but step two goes a step further, not only to show that you can make cookies using the dough inside the ice cream, but also which one has more dough. and also which one has the highest quality dough. because I can assure you that you know that Edi's Slow Whipped Cookie Dough is not going to produce the same results as Edie's Slow Whipped Cookie Dough.

We have others here, Matt, why did you buy two of these? Apparently we have twice as much cookie dough as. we gotta get through, so let's get into this, okay, preheating the oven, let's do a little background research on chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, even though it's rated as one of the top 10 flavors here in the states, It was not actually sold as a consumer product. until the 1990s, which is curious considering pre-made cookie dough has been around since the 1950s. A fan first suggested the concept to Ben Jerry's in 1984. The company tested the idea by simply mixing raw cookie dough with its vanilla ice cream. in an exclusive store, the idea was a success and hit stores in 1991.

Just one year later, 1992, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream accounted for a whopping 20 of Ben and Jerry's ice cream sales, indicating that every other ice cream brand on the planet released their own version until today, when you practically stumble upon this flavor of ice cream in every supermarket, the edible dough used in ice cream can be eaten without eggs, sometimes without flour and a Sometimes heated to 140 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit for pasteurization, that said we already know. from our episode on boxed cake mixes, you don't need eggs to bake a lot, so maybe we'll find that the cookie dough inside the ice cream is similar or maybe we'll run into other problems, so that's interesting.

While you're mulling this over here, I see a lot of chocolate chips. I don't see much mass. The actual content of the dough is surprisingly missing. This is cookie dough, right? Slowly whipped cookie dough by Edie, there is very little cookie dough. like it's nothing here, wait guys, they made cookie dough, well yes, our quote unquote cookie dough turned out not to have a long shelf life in a tub of melted ice cream, we found that in almost every box the dough becomes one with the ice cream. If it's real cookie dough, it shouldn't be able to melt like ice cream cookie dough is a solid at room temperature, which doesn't make any sense, it's a solid at room temperature, so why would it melt?

That's how it has a high oil content, I think they're apparently not solid at room temperature, I think they weren't made with real butter, I mean, the egg is a binding agent, so if the egg is missing, if the egg will honestly struggle even though we were able to explain it with science after the fact, it was definitely an unexpected setback that meant the only path forward was one filled with uncomfortable images of us sifting ice cream and taking ice bites. Yes, we have to choose this individually. I'll see you in a couple of hours this is something that was suggested to us on reddit thanks reddit matt do you eat raw cookie dough?

He, of course, is fine, the monster doesn't eat cookie dough. I'm always nervous about eating raw cookie dough, my mom. Scared me straight, she taught me right, my mom made me afraid of escalators, my fingers burn, your fingers don't have much circulation anymore, I know this didn't help, this is old Harris wobbly, so if you know previous episodes of food theory. you know it comes with a high level of excellence representing generics, let's see how you do, oh no, why is this channel so disgusting and much more? This is a quick shoot, we thought, oh yeah, we'll be in and this one will be fine in no time, we didn't suspect that the dough would melt at room temperature, which already says that this is quite far from real cookie dough, already It's quite delicate, I must say at the beginning of filming.

I actually complained a little about how we bought too much ice cream for this experiment. This is a legitimate question for Matt. Let me move my microphone to Matt. Why do we do it? Why did you buy two of these? all those cardboard backups actually ended up being the episode's saving grace. There's no egg on my face or in the batter we scooped out of the ice cream. Thank you so much. Steph and I tested each carton. I love ice cream. It makes me so happy, I then manually scoop the cookie dough out of each container of partially frozen ice cream, so there you have it folks, you buy a half gallon of Edi's ice cream and this is pretty much all you get when it comes to cookie dough , come on. that's like a couple scoops, maybe after an hour of ripping chili we finally had the cookie dough we needed to do some testing between the chocolate chip cookie dough ice creams from the three

best

selling ice cream brands, ben jerry's edies and briers a.

Smaller national brand Mayfield, as well as Food Theory's favorite private label, which is also available in our area, Harris wobbles, so after a very thorough extraction, we finally have all the cookie dough out of the ice cream, our Fingers have warmed up enough to return to normal. state and we are ready to compare and you can immediately see the difference in size with each amount of cookie dough. You've got Breyer's here, it's got a sizable handful of whatever cookie dough is in there, while you've got an all-natural store brand. This way, come on, man, you don't even fill the bottom of the cup.

Ben and Jerry's also looks strong with huge chunks even though you're scooping from a smaller total amount of ice cream. The question I have though is how does this compare to what The traditional cookie looks like Stephanie actually has a real cookie dough that we're going to compare all of these to and uh I don't know what the standard size of a cookie. The serving size is two level tablespoons, which it actually is. a pretty good sized cookie it's big it's a bacon it's a this is a cookie yes, gosh, I don't know if any of these will satisfy a cookie, four of the five actually contained enough to make a two tablespoons ball of Harris Teeter's all-natural brand Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream was a little shy—there's only one scoop of cookie dough in its entire 48-ounce container—so we were forced to make a mini cookie for old Harris Teeter, sorry.

Dude, I still love your diet soda, this one is crazy, you have this giant tub of ice cream and I don't even think it's enough dough for a whole cookie, I don't know about you, but actually, this is really amazing to me, It makes you wonder how many ingredients have to be in a thing for it to qualify as that. It's a theoretical episode for another day, for fun, we calculated the percentage of cookie dough in each paris of ice cream. obviously, the wobble was the lowest at one percent, while Ben and Jerry's was by far the highest at 6.3 percent cookie dough by volume because their container was three and a half times Bigger than Ben Jerry's.

The Briers container actually ended up with the most cookie dough overall. a whopping four and three quarter tablespoons so here are our six we did it guys now the question is which one will result in the

best

overall cookie and with that ladies and gentlemen we wait a couple of minutes you are so small, the wobbly harris will cook in about three minutes, I don't know, I think so, I think we're going to have to get the ht out a little earlier, but our goal is to cook them in the right amount for them, so we're going to try to satisfy your individual interests and needs in the oven and give us the best possible opportunity in each one.

Each of our cookie dough balls is its own special flower that we want to care for and nurture in its own way. but if you think steph and i just sat around and did nothing while the cookies were in the oven, you're so wrong, hey stephanie, hey matthew, do you know what's sweeter than cookies made with cookie dough, ice cream, Theory Ware Christmas products, that's right, while? We don't have any specific food theory products, we have a wide variety for you to choose from, including this theory channel product box. Wow, it covers all four channels, that's amazing and it covers basically everything you could want from your Christmas product.

It's a notebook socks wow oh it's that's a keychain it's a keychain it's a swivel keychain I'm sorry maybe you confused the pin with the ballpoint pen best metal pen do you know when I first moved to North Carolina when I was six years old? the accents would say pin would be like pass me that frying pan and I would be like a pin what do you need with a pin and they would be like a frying pan a pen and I would say what are you talking about? I literally know like what are you talking about?

Well, either a pin or a pen. It is available in this theoretical brand gift box. The following article drink tea all winter long with my amazing theory. Use a cup. That's a box. Stephanie. I know, but there's a cup inside. Oh thanks. for showing off the look of the cup, it has my favorite molecule and yours, caffeine, caffeine, I'm addicted, it's bad, Matt contacted me with some other things that we can show the camera drinking all day. Thank you very much, Matt, we have this. really cool jacket beautiful it's warm it's super silky and soft it's very thick it will keep you warm in the winter it's cool it has a tiger on your back you have the eye or the tiger you can with theoretical merchandise oh god that almost hit the left that was very close, I was very worried, hit me with another talking about things that cover all the theoretical channels, but look at all your favorite logos from all your favorite YouTube channels, all on the same comfy blanket. cover your family members who you never want to see again during the holidays, that's right the theory is available right now below this video and at that moment the cookies came out of the oven which I have to say is a bummerbecause we had many. more theory, let's wear bits up our sleeves, but alas, you'll have to wait for another holiday season, ladies and gentlemen, we have cookies, we'll be back a little later, the cookies are ready, they're cooled and look, they're practically cookies, yeah .

It turns out that when you scoop cookie dough out of cookie dough ice cream you end up with something that's close to a cookie, so here's our control cookie, which was made using real inedible cookie dough with the raw eggs and everything uncooked. edible thing I've ever eaten is so much cookie dough it's not even funny for legal purposes. I have to encourage you not to eat raw eggs or raw flour. Yeah, no, don't be Stephanie, don't, don't be Stephanie, so this. is our control group, so this is what a cookie should look like. You see, there may be a couple of differences.

Find the difference. Breyer is surprisingly solid. Yeah, oh, really good.Mayfield Farm is kind of a pretty good cookie too, but clearly the best showing of Ben and Jerry comes from Ben Jerry, at least from a visual standpoint, uh, maybe the worst performance is the old HT, now the appearance of these cookies actually tells us quite a bit about what ingredients may be out of proportion in our ice cream dough cookies? Thanks to this handy guide from Delish, it would appear at a glance that Edies and Harris Teeter lacked flour breyers and Ben and Jerry's appear to have a baking powder quality.

And from the looks of that Mayfield cookie, its ingredients may have been mixed together all at once, so that's the visual evaluation, but obviously comes the flavor evaluation, so I think we start with our control group to have an idea of ​​what a cookie should taste like and then let's move on to the competitors, it's a Nestle toll house so good man, I haven't had a good chocolate chip cookie in a long time, that was great, that's a solid cookie , I don't want to go any further, well, let's move on to Edie's chocolate wafer cookie. If you hold it up to the light, there aren't even many chocolate chips in there, you might not see it among the burnt brown color.

It's worth noting also that I don't think it's burnt, we cooked it long enough that it was kind of solid in the pan and we didn't cook it to a level where it was crispy like it was still pliable and oh, it flutters like a bird, It's so strange, what is that brown sugar? amount of jaggery it's just jaggery and butter guys it's not cookie at all it doesn't have that doughy texture it's actually gummy it's gummy it's not nice it's like a sweet sticky substance in your mouth it's not nice ok cookie yes like that maybe not So much Breyer legitimately looks like a cookie, not a lot of chips on the front, but on the back you actually see a decent amount of chocolate chips embedded in it, okay, oh, oh, it's very, it's got a little bit of a weird texture, yes, it tastes like they've done this by far. of artificial ingredients to replicate the look and feel of cookie dough, but it doesn't taste like a real cookie at all.

It feels like a computer made a chocolate chip cookie. They were like that. This is a chocolate chip cookie. It looks and appears like a chocolate chip cookie doesn't taste turns out the artificial chemical flavor is actually a telltale sign of too much baking powder, as we predicted from the picture it is likely to create a puffy texture even without egg, but maybe they went too far. a little ahead to the next one, okay, the next one is let's go with uh the mayfield oh, okay, that's the best one so far. I'm having a hard time chewing this puppy, but it tastes like chocolate, yes, this one so far tastes like The closest thing to our control group is like you went on the show, you made it, and they asked you to make a chocolate cookie and no one I knew how to make a chocolate chip cookie.

This is so, I think it is true that we are like a kind of flavor. It's okay and the look is okay, but it's not really great, yeah, if you squint at it, it's passable, okay, after every tea, the HD cookie, oh, listen to that snap, oh oh , it's just sugar, it's just cooked sugar, there's nothing substantial. Here and again we think about this sugar being soluble in water, so when we think about the ones that really dissolved where we were unable to get the cookie dough pieces out of the warm ice cream, it makes a lot of sense, it's really interesting and this.

I think the most exciting part of this experiment is that everyone is different in their own way, since none of them taste the same or have the same problem. It seems like everyone is trying to find a way to get safe cookie dough into their ice cream in an effective and cost-effective way, but they are doing it with different methods, it's actually very interesting, which brings us to what seems to be the most resembling a cookie of all, which is Ben Jerry's with your fingers crossed, huh, huh, it definitely has it. the crunchy edge issue is definitely harder to chew than the control, yes all of these are chewier than this control cookie.

Are you using aquafaba aquafaba aquafaba aquaphoba? I'm using aquafaba. I'm using the aquaphobic. No, that has some idea what we're up to. We are talking about what the aquifer is. I have no idea what we're talking about. I don't know what aquaponics. We're in the middle of watching the great British baking show. Anyway, I will say that this is the best cookie ever. cookie dough ice creams we tried, but again they are still slightly different, so for those of you keeping track at home, Ben and Jerry's swept the categories today. Their ice cream had the highest percentage of cookie dough by volume.

Their cookie dough turned out to be the best looking and best tasting. cookie, although I must say that being the best tasting ice cream derived cookie is not much of an achievement. I definitely wouldn't sit down to eat any of these cookies today by choice, apart from of course the control group, that one was incredibly delicious, the takeaway. Here's if you really care about the purity and precision of the cookie dough in your ice cream, don't do it because you won't get it from any type of ice cream, but if you do the closest thing you'll get is Ben. and jerry, everything else is a substitute for cookie dough or close to it, maybe get some vanilla ice cream and mix up the dough, go visit the toll house, we should have done that, that would have been cool, oh , get ice cream and mix it with cookie dough. yeah, just make your own, why not, but hey, that's just a theory, a theory of food, bon appetit, have another bite, oh, I didn't want to look at that one, I wanted to want to take control, there you go , thanks for watching the theorists.

You're still crying out for more ice cream, definitely check out our episode on mcflurries. We turn fast food desserts into cakes.
