Many of us enjoy eating raw cookie dough, even though we technically aren’t supposed to because it contains raw flour and eggs, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, two sisters revolutionized the market by creating their own edible raw cookie dough that’s completely safe to eat and doesn’t contain raw eggs, according to The Cookie Dough Cafe. 

The sisters’ names are Joan Pacetti and Julia Schmid, and they created their company in 2011 and called it The Cookie Dough Cafe (via Shark Tank Blog). In 2012, the sisters made a deal with The Fresh Market grocery store to sell their edible cookie dough in two local shops in Illinois, per The Cookie Dough Cafe. The next year, their product ranked at the top of its category, and The Fresh Market agreed to carry The Cookie Dough Cafe products in its stores around the United States. Before this deal, the sisters were personally delivering their cookie dough in a refrigerated truck. Wanting to expand their business further, sisters Pacetti and Schmid sought help from the investors of the popular show Shark Tank. Here’s what happened to Cookie Dough Cafe after Shark Tank.

The sisters explained that their products were in seven retail stores at the time and made around $24,000 in their first year. Cuban and John dropped out because they thought the company was too young to invest in, while O’Leary was simply not impressed with the company’s sales. However, Greiner and Tisch ended up striking a deal with the sisters for an investment of $100,000 for a 30% stake in the company.
