The only foods that MUST be cooked to be edible are ones where a bacteriological risk is present in the uncooked product. Examples of this include many raw meat products such as beef or chicken.

The only cookie doughs that aren't safe to eat raw are ones made with raw or unpasteurized egg ingredients. This presents a risk of salmonella. Commercially-sold doughs generally do not use those ingredients, but check the label. See the links below for more information on this.

Note that most chemical preservatives used in foods do not break down when cooked. Therefore there is no change in their content. While some associate these preservatives with cancer risks, they are present whether the dough is cooked or not, so it's really irrelevant.

If the ingredient statement does not declare "pasteurized eggs", don't assume that they are. Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough contains "eggs" and the package warns "...Contains Raw Ingredients. Bake Before Consuming."

Is it okay to make cookies out of Cookie Dough that hasn't been refrigerated for most likely more than 24hrs?

I wouldn't suggest doing this - the raw cookie dough is made from raw ingredients that may not have been commercially sterile when the cookie dough was made. When the cookie dough was left outside the fridge for over 24 hours, the bacteria in the cookie dough had a lot of time to multiply. Even though cooking the cookie dough should kill the bacteria, you can get food poisoning from the toxins left by the bacteria even after the bacteria are dead.

How is American cookie dough all right to eat raw when regular dough that you use to make cooked cookies is not good for you to eat?

Packaged dough in the tube has been precooked specially to kill disease so it is safe to eat. When I was young I made cookies from the dough and my mom was worried so she called the company. Note that contamination of the dough "could" occur, whether or not it is baked before you eat it. Baking would eliminate most types of bacteria that could affect the dough.
