How does one measure 3/4 cup butter without going mad?

Seriously. I don't use cup measurements often, but butter measured in a cup sounds ridiculous. What do I do?

3/4 c butter is roughly 6 oz (a stick and a half if your butter comes 4 sticks to the pound. I haven't had enough caffeine yet to do the metric conversion, sorry!)

Or, put a cup of water in a 2-cup (or larger) measuring cup and then drop the butter in until the water level rises to 1 3/4 cup.

Right. My butter used to come in 8oz bars, now 250g, but I can deal with ounces. Thank you! i have a set of cup measures, but no 2-cup, but aiming for 6oz will do nicely.

This year may just be the year I bake Christmas cookies. I keep meaning to...
