I just found out today that 1 cup of butter is two sticks and not just one. I've been unintentionally sabotaging my cookies for years now.

Why the fuck do American/Canadian recipes use volume for butter instead of weight?

Yeah I never even read the package, for some reason I always assumed that 1 stick = 1 cup.

What kind of variable density butter are you using?

Imagine not knowing how big a cup is. Do cooklets really?

They're much better and come out less doughy. They melt in your mouth.

In Canada I see shorter but heavier bricks. When I visited the US they had thin long sticks. Why the fuck can't we just weigh butter goddamnit.

Sticks in burgerland are like 10-20 grams heavier than the sticks in my country, so I always have to double check the recipe. How in the name of fuck do you manage to fuck up butter.

butter can range from 72% fat to 85% fat
