The issue is primarily with any bacteria in the food being able to multiply between 40F and 140F. So just not having eggs or milk doesn’t mean that it’s sterile enough to not need to follow the food safety requirements.
Once you open the can or container of cookie dough it’s certainly not sterile anymore and no longer able to be keep at room temperature without possibility of bacteria growing, so even if it was stored in a sterile environment once it’s on the sheet it isn’t shelf stable anymore.

In that case I think the real issue would be how long it’s safe to store at room temperature, since edible cookie doughs do still require refrigeration as far as I know. If you popped an edible cookie dough in for 30 minutes you’d probably be fine, the more hours you tack on the sketchier it gets.

Proceeds to take a used car sales job, schedule appointments for people to come see the vehicles and bake edible cookie dough in the windshield and feed them to the staff right before they arrive. Recommend they take a test drive down to mom and pop cookie shop set up by my partner down the street.
Future self: failed at selling cars, but ate a lot of cookies.
