Write this down. Take a picture. Tattoo it on your arm. Half of 1 3/4 cups = 7/8 cup = 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons.
You can also say, “I need about 3/4 cup plus a little more.” But that’s fuzzy math. Are you a fuzzy math person?
What if you just don’t care?
Honestly? Sometimes I just use a 3/4 cup and then add a splash. The world doesn’t end. The cookies still taste like cookies. Unless you’re baking for a pastry competition. Then please use the correct measurement, you maniac.
