I would at least rinse off the egg shell before cracking, personally, and when I make raw cookie dough to serve to others, I make sure I follow all food handling best practices since I'd be horrified to give someone food poisoning, as unlikely as it may be.
There's also this:

The flour is the biggest question mark.
There is never any flour inside the egg when it’s laid.
Hahahahaha, I actually laughed out loud
OK, but it's still recommended to properly handle eggs, too. It's not like it's difficult to pasteurize eggs. You need a pot of water, a stove, and a thermometer.
The egg is only there to help bind it while it bakes so the butter doesn'tmelt and turn it into goo. If you are going to eat the dough just leave out the egg, it doesn't do anything.
You can eat raw eggs. Raw flour is the question mark.
If your egg is clean on the outside where does the bad bacteria come from? Because its not from inside the egg.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Don't shoot the messenger.
