Home of the Original “EKG” cookie!
Edited to Add: This post was originally written years ago… back in the day when I made decorated sugar cookies for clients!
When Elena and I talked about making cookies for her cousins graduation, I gotta tell ya, I was stumped.
Tina just graduated from nursing school, and I had NO IDEA what kind of cookies to make for a graduate.
A cap? (boring) A diploma? (weird shaped cookie) A band aid? (gross! although…maybe) So anyway, I went for basics.
Clean, white, sterile basics.
Are you overwhelmed by my creativity?
Yeah. I was pretty under-whelmed too. I had to do something to those plain white letters…
Ha! I figured if the band aid was small it wouldn’t seem so gross. 😉
The smallest syringe EVER.
The essential nursing stethoscope.
Get it? Heart cookie… squiggly line thingy that represents heart beat? (An EKG (or EKC as some say))
Did you know you would be learning important technical medical jargon on my baking blog today that would make you smarter and less socially awkward?
You’re welcome.
Even some good ole red crosses.
And then, because I can never leave well enough alone, I made this.
Has anyone out there ever gone through nursing school or know someone who has? Is this giant obnoxious ‘nursing school survival list’ cookie even funny?
I admit it, I have no idea. But if it’s not, please don’t tell me.
Congratulations Tina! Can’t wait to see how many wonderful ways you will make the world a better place!
The cookie above (and in the video) was piped with whipped vanilla buttercream. I used a #3 tip with red buttercream to pipe the line.
Love the idea and as always, you seem to have perfect timing. My husband is going back to school to be a nurse, and today was his first day. Now I have the perfect treat to make for him after his 1st day~ Thanks.
Hello from Christchurch New Zealand! I’m a student nurse and will be graduating the end of this year and these cookies look fantastic. Can’t wait to graduate and make my tutors and fellow students some PQRST wave (squiggly line) heart cookies. Always love reading your posts Amanda 🙂
My nephew is graduating from medical school in May and entering his residency to become a pediatric cardiac surgeon. These are perfect!
Yay!! And congrats to your nephew, that is just wonderful!
Awesome. ❤️❤️❤️
How large is your Survival School cookie? Thinking of trying to make this for my niece.
It was big!
