I want to try the NFSC recipe here on CC but I don't really work in cup measures, I weigh everything. If someone could tell me how much a cup of butter weighs, preferably in metric! i'd really appreciate it.
TIA
Emma

I just double checked with butter i have in the freezer: my 1 pound (453 g)block is 2 cups

OK, I can't believe I just got up and weighed some butter, just because I was curious!

Anyway, I got 8 ounce = 226.796185 gram

And here's a conversion link for you: http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_volume_cooking.htm

thanks i wondered that too!

Thanks CookieD-oh and jenng1482. That really helps.
Now I'm going to make a batch of NFSC and see how they compare to my regular butter cookie recipe.
Thanks again for your super-quick responses.

1/2 Cup is 4 oz
1 cup 8 oz
3/4 Cup 1 1/2 stick
1 stick is 1/2 cup =4 oz
