oops....

English recipes do not work in Italy.


1.5 sticks of butter does not easily translate to grams when all you know is that 1.5 sticks = 12 tablespoons.


Tablespoons are a measure of volume.... Italians measure butter in grams... aka weight. Volume does not equal weight......


Therefore one ends up with molasses cookies that have waaaay too much butter..... Ooopsss!!!! 


Anyone want a flat, chewy, caramel-like molasses-ish cookie???
