Measuring Goofs
Directions: Pete decided to surprise everyone and make a batch of cookies. Can you spot Pete's
measuring goofs? Read how Pete did the measuring and see if you can spot his four measuring
goofs. List the goofs in the numbered spaces below and then explain how to do each one correctly,
Pete's Cookies
The first ingredient the recipe called for was flour. Pete got out the flour canister, put the flour in the
measuring cup, tapped the cup to be sure it was full, and leveled it off. The next ingredient was brown
sugar. Since the grains seemed to stick together, he tried to sift the brown sugar to separate the
grains. Then the recipe called for butter or margarine. Pete found some sticks of margarine in the
refrigerator. He needed a cup of margarine, so he used two one-quarter pound sticks. He also
needed three-quarters of a cup of milk. He poured the milk into a size 12 measuring cup and a size 1/4
measuring cup giving him 3/4 cup. Next, he had to measure two teaspoons of baking powder. He got a
teaspoon from the table silver and took two scoops of baking powder, leveling off each one.

Measuring goofs is a mistake that is made while measuring the quantity of any substance.

In the Pete's Cookie recipe the measuring goofs and the correct ways to measure are:

1. Using two one-quarter pound sticks to measure a cup of margarine is a goof and can be replaced by using two one-half pound sticks.

2. Sifting of the brown sugar is not needed.

3. Using two scoops of baking powder is a goof and can be corrected by using teaspoons twice for adding baking powder.

4. Using a size 12 measuring cup and a size 1/4 cup is a goof instead three-quarters of a cup should be used.
