Cardiology cookies

I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe to make my husband's paramedic class some EKG cookies.  I even did a couple flat lined.

 

These cookies are amazing - they are thick and moist and sweet - think Grandma Sycamore's cookies.  Mmm.

 

To do the cookies, I just googled "EKG strips" and looked at the images so I could copy a few.  Here is the recipe (I made my cookies without nutmeg this time):

 

Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter

1 ½ cups sugar

2 eggs

4 ½ cups flour

1 t. baking soda

1 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

½ t. nutmeg (optional)

1 cup sour cream

1 ½ teaspoon vanilla

Cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Add dry ingredients alternately with sour cream until incorporated. Add vanilla. Chill. Roll to ¼’’ thick and cut. Put on ungreased cookie sheet (I actually greased it for my cookies). Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes until golden around the edges. Cool and frost.
