In the cookie recipe, all the ingredients are given in measurements of cups and spoons. Except the butter. Could you please translate 150 grams into ounces or spoons (preferably the latter)?
Thanks.

Pat, there is 10 grams in a dessert spoon and 20 grams in a tablespoon.

Thanks, Joanne. What I see, then, is that the recipe takes 7-1/3 tbl, or almost one stick, of butter.

Can never have too much butter. Sally Fallon says, enough is when you bite into your bread and you can see teeth marks in the butter.

Joanne, I hope I didn’t convey the idea that I thought a stick of butter was
too much. I was only saying that now I understand how much 150g of butter is,
in the measuring terms I understand.
We are quite fond of butter and eat it freely. Organic, of course. Who wants
to feast on something laced with rBST?

Thanks for that one Joanna, the boys and I will be making this one next week. Stand by for photos. By the way I’m so happy to be told that butter is healthy. I used to try to moderate is consumption by my younger boys who would eat it in chunks, well I know why now. He has cavities and I’m sure it was his little body telling him yu’ve got to eat this, there’s vit D there. Any way I now tuck in and leave my teeth marks on the butter.
