Abstrakt: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to engage staff nurses in research in an informative and fun way by determining nurses' preference for sugar-free chocolate chip cookies versus regular chocolate chip cookies.
Design and Methods: A descriptive, crossover, double-blinded study was performed using a convenience sample of 300 staff nurses.
Results: Nurses preferred the texture, flavor, and overall preference of the regular chocolate chip cookie as compared with the sugar-free chocolate chip cookie (p<0.001).
Implications: The Great American Cookie Experiment remains a creative teaching strategy to enhance knowledge and engage nurses in the research process.
