Since moving to France, I've grown fond of using a scale, not to mention I didn't bring measuring spoons or cups with me. Just a pitch here to include the option of choosing metric or Imperial (USCS) measurements! Many thanks!

Unless your kitchen is cold, it'll be well on the way to softening in just a few minutes. If it is cold, put the metal bowl near something warm, or hold it in your hands, etc.<br /><br />Even a glass bowl will work, tho it might be faster to put hot water in it for a couple minutes, dry thoroughly and then put the cut up butter in it. Not too hot, cause you don't want to melt the butter, just warm it up.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053401443093400577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273490805343363580.post-58302850166724987532009-06-05T20:25:31.313-04:002009-06-05T20:25:31.313-04:00My childhood was marked by mixing endless cookie b...My childhood was marked by mixing endless cookie batches that spread too much in the oven into lacy, overly crisp messes that were impervious to the spatula. Still, they were always fun to make, and now I've figured it out the problem, we melted the butter. Now with microwaves this isn't as much of a problem, but back in the 80s we had to be ahead of the game enough to leave the butter out to soften for a few hours. Next time, I'll try this recipe. Most of the time, if I'm craving c.c. cookies I buy Pillsbury dough-- embarrassing, I know for a Woodstock child, but they're not bad at all.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162734594528909218noreply@blogger.com
