Please convert the oz measurements to US measurements, like cups, I assume. These cookies look wonderful but I have no clue what 4.9 oz of any ingredient is, as well as all the other oz ingredients. I would love to try this recipe too.
what are the ingredients if I don’t want want to use gluten free?
