Refrigeration allows the fats in cookie dough to become solidified and allows the flavors of butter, vanilla and other ingredients to blend with each other. The flours in the dough will also absorb more moisture, and any sugar that has not already melted will do so, which along with the solidified fat, produces improved texture.

Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most persons recover without treatment. However, in some persons, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. So you are better off not eating the cookie dough. Just put it in the oven and wait a few minutes to cook. You're intestines will thank you.
