This would probably be fine, especially if you use water instead of milk. Since there’s a very small amount of milk, it’s possible that the sugars in the cookie dough would stabilize it and even that would be okay. The butter shouldn’t be a problem. Obviously you’d need to check with the ag dept. Technically, you should even be able to use pasteurized eggs and that would be fine too.
Susy, that’s all correct as far as I know. I haven’t heard anything different.
The list hasn’t been updated and you can request an addition with these links:

If you’re just reselling commercial tea in smaller amounts (reselling individual unopened packets), you may not need to register as a cottage food operation. You can ask your ag dept if something like a seller’s permit would be better for you.
If you repackage the exact product and slap your own label on it, this may be illegal, depending on if the original product is copyrighted, patented, or trademarked. Even if it isn’t, if your business got big enough it could be considered unfair competition. I wouldn’t advise it, and it’s better to significantly change the product or create your own from its ingredients.
You may not provide prepared samples of the product with a cottage food license. You should call the ag dept and see what requirements there are to sell hot tea or coffee at a market. You may not need a full commercial license for that.
Hola Haimara, asumiendo que tu torta no requiere refrigeración, toda información respecto a tu negocio suena bien y sin ningún inconveniente. Siempre y cuando tu producto esté apropiadamente etiquetado, no tienes que dar factura por cada venta. Por igual, no necesitas cobrar impuestos.
From the law:
“Farm direct marketer” means an agricultural producer that sells farm direct products or producer processed products directly to the retail consumer.
I take that to mean that anyone can sell these types of goods, including a home gardener. That’s my interpretation — I’m not sure what’s the ag dept’s interpretation is.
Craig, what state are you in?
I don’t see any problem with that, as long as the food prep isn’t happening in a bedroom.
It depends on your state, but usually cottage food laws on only for products intended for human consumption. The health depts is in charge of these kinds of businesses.
Irvine, CA? Neither California nor Texas will allow these products, with the exception of almonds, which both states allow.
