Half of 3/4 of a Cup
One cup has 16 tablespoons. So 3/4 of a cup is 12 tablespoons. Half of 12 is exactly 6. See? No need for a calculator. You just did math while half-awake. Impressive.
Another pro tip: use the 1/4 cup and 1/8 cup combo. If you have a 1/8 cup measure, just use three of them. Or, fill a 1/4 cup halfway (that’s 2 tablespoons), then add another 1/4 cup full? No, stop. That’s wrong.

Let’s clear that up right now.
Half of 3/4 cup is not a 1/4 cup plus a little extra. That’s a disaster waiting to happen. A 1/4 cup is 4 tablespoons. We need 6. So do one 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) and one 2-tablespoon scoop (which is 1/8 cup). Boom. Perfect.
You know what? Just remember this: 6 tablespoons. Write it on your hand. Stick it on your fridge. Because in the chaos of cookie-making, you don’t want to be doing long division.
