I made this and my family loves it! The conversion is easy. Using a liquid or dry measuring cup just get as near to the measure stated in this recipe. 4oz. butter is one stick 3oz. sugar is a little over 13 cup 7oz. flour is almost 1 cup 3oz. dried cherries is a little less than a 12 cup I didn't have the sugar so I used regular granular sugar. They came out ok but the sugar stated would be better to use for this. YUM!

For most baking recipes, it's ideal to weigh your ingredients. There are relatively inexpensive kitchen scales available at most superstores and bathbed type stores.

I may be ignorant, but I can't find a conversion chart to convert ounces for the butter, sugar, flour and cherries. My measuring cups come in fractions of cups. I would appreciate it if I could get this recipe in measurements I can understand.
