Cookies vs. Cookie Dough

Growing up, I was told that you couldn't eat cookie dough or that you could only eat a little bit of cookie dough because raw eggs cause salmonella. My wife, on the other hand, grew up loving cookie dough. Recently we got some cookie dough and ate all of it raw, my reasoning being her family has eaten it and they put it in ice cream. Still, our conversation up to that point was not too far from this (minus the final punchline). I'm now hooked on cookie dough.
