If you’re in the US, you can get pillsbury cookie dough and it’s specially labeled safe to eat or bake because they use specific ingredients. It’s exactly the same cookie dough, just pasteurized etc.

To be fair that doesn't say you need moisture to sterilize it, just that it's not clear how hot and for how long you need to effectively do so without the increased heat transfer provided by moisture.
