    A friend gave me the Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe but it is in US measurements.
    I've searched online for converters (to convert to grams) but there is no consistency in them.

    If anyone uses this recipe, what amounts do you use?
    Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe:

    3/4 cup sugar
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    1 cup butter (softened)
    1tsp vanilla
    2 eggs

    2 1/4 cups flour
    1tsp baking soda
    1tsp salt (may want less)

    12oz choc chips

    Mix all first set of ingredients (sugar to eggs). Mix next lot in separate bowl and then then add to first ingredients.
    Bake at 180-190 for 9-11 minutes.

    You can buy standardised measuring cups which may help. I use them for American recipes. Otherwise, this website has been recommended here before: http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/cooking-conversions/gram-conversions.aspx

    Thanks for the link and the gram amounts.

    I made a batch this morning and I am quite happy with the outcome - they didn't spread out (and become flat) like a batch with a different recipe (Faith and Magic Monkey helped me there too). I got today's good result without chilling the dough!
    I softened the butter in the microwave until it was very soft.

    I only used about 1/2 the sugar because my 2 year old will be eating some of them but I might make an 'adult-only' batch with the full amount.
    I only used 250g of chocolate chips because 340g seemed too much - I'll put the entire 340g in next time as there isn't any harm in having loads of chocolate chips.

    They are quite soft and light on the inside.
