Meet Christi, Love From The Oven
I’m Christi I love sharing easy & delicious recipes that your family & friends will love. I’m a mom, baker, cookbook author and lover of sprinkles.
How much will 2.5 cup flour be in grams ?
All measurements I use and give are done so in cups, I do not measure as most American home cooks do not measure. A quick google search shows 128 g per cup of dry ingredients, but again, when I created this recipe it was not by weight, so I can’t speak to how accurate that would be. Spooning flour into cups and leveling is how I measure.
They are cookies, they are not supposed to be like cake batter at all, if it’s thick, you are on the right track. Bake them and enjoy! 🙂
