8 oz in a cup so 1 & 1/2Www@FoodAQ@Com

When baking, if a recipe specifically calls for ounces, it is advisable to weigh the flour instead of measuring it by volume!. Most measuring cups are not calibrated for weight measurements because 12oz of flour would not occupy the same volume as 12oz of brown sugar!. Besides that, your 1c measuring cup may hold a different amount than your neighbor's 1c measuring cup!. Weird, I know!.

I think the best thing to do would be to check out another sugar cookie recipe online and see if you can match up the other ingredients (yours says 1c sugar, 12 oz flour, the other one says 1c sugar 1!.5c flour)!. Then you'll know what will work!.

By the way, when measuring flour, it is best to use the "stir & dip" meathod!. Stir the flour with a knife, dip the measuring cup into it, then level it off with the knife!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

depends on your recipe--- some recipes can be tricky!.!.!.!.weight is not always the same as volume---- is the rest of your recipe in volume measurements!? (I deal with this at my Job) volume measurements are cups- 1/4 cups etc!.!. but if recipe has everything in weights you may need a scale!.!.!.!. example we all know 10 ounces of marshmallows is not 1 1/4 cups!. You need to follow the recipe!. I am not sure if 12 ounces(volume) of flour weighs 12 ounces!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can't use a measuring cup!. You need to weigh the flour to get the correct amount!.

It is wise to purchase a kitchen scale to have for when you cook!. Some recipes call for oz!. measure, not necessarily the same as cup measures!.

You can find inexpensive ones in stores that sell kitchen supplies!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The thing is with flour, you can't measure weight by cups!. In order to get 12 oz!. with flour, you would actually need a scale!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

One cup is 8 oz!. - So 1 1/2 cups would be 12 oz!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
