ProudGrandma Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I am making cookies today. I made a huge batch and all was fine. But then I went to make another batch...and the 2 eggs I cracked were all funky.....one was dark inside and one was really runny. Needless to say I tossed both of those eggs. But now i am concerned that the previous batch of cookies might be ok...although, I always take a whiff of my eggs before using them and they smelled fine. What do you think? Would you be concerned? The other 2 eggs (bad), didn't have a strong smell either, so I am just not sure...what would do? These cookies are for my college kids and I don't want to make anybody sick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I would toss them all because I am a paranoid lunatic when it comes to potential food poisoning, but realistically, the cookies you already made are probably fine. So I’m no help at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Oh no! I don’t usually get too fussed but yeah, I’d probably lean toward the paranoid in this case also. I hope you have another carton of eggs and can try again. There are definitely days that throwing away cookies could send me to tears... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Perhaps they should be set aside just for you. You know, for safety's sake. When you feel stressed, eat two and then meditate for an hour and see how you feel. "Sorry! I'd love to share, but ... too risky!" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go ahead and crack the rest of the carton, see if any others seem off. If several of those are funky, toss it all. If not, keep the cookies and have an omelette for dinner. there were 4 eggs left....the first of the 4 were fine...nothing alarming...the last 2...not so much...

Specifically, those days would be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you had eaten 8 eggs from the carton with no trouble? Have I got that right? If I did, then I would not worry about the previously-made cookies. But as others have said, I might keep them for myself just to be safe. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 right....all of the other eggs were fine...and I was going to freeze these for a couple days because we aren't seeing the kids until early next week...that will give us several days to eat a few and see what happens, I guess...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I would think that the previous batch was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I would be fine with the first batch. Eggs in a carton aren’t always the same age. I’ve floated a dozen and had some totally float while others don’t float at all. I think sometimes stores take multiple cartons of eggs that contain a few cracked ones and combine them. So your couple of duds might have come from a different carton in the first place. But maybe I’m just trying to justify not throwing out cookies.

katilac Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 They're cookies. Of course I would eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 I ate 2 the day I made them ....and I am not sick at all....so...I think we are good. Thanks for all of your thoughts....on both sides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
