Problem with measurements

[*Snowflake*]

So, I want to try some cookies but I have problem with US cup measurements because I want to convert them in grams. I looked on the net and I found this two sites but they're not really showing the same numbers in gram.

A "cup" is a size measurement - not a weight measurement - so there is no standard translation to grams (example: a cup of stones would weigh so much more than a cup of confectioner's sugar) I would use the second set of measurements. It shows a list of ingredients and tells you how much a cup, half cup, quarter cup, etc. of that particular ingredient would weigh in grams.

yes I know that,that's why I wanted to know if those measurements are right because I don't want to make cookies wrong:elf1: Thanks ornamentmaven:elf3:

can you please suggest me what I have to do if some ingredient is not on the list? how to measure then?
