Cookie Crumbs
Cookie crumbs weigh about 110g per cup, though this varies with the cookie type. Oreo crumbs (with filling) are denser; vanilla wafer crumbs are lighter. Cookie crumb crusts work the same way as graham cracker crusts — mix with melted butter and press into a pan. About 25 Oreos make 2 cups of crumbs. Process in a food processor for the most uniform result. Store crushed crumbs in a sealed container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
