Cup is a standard size for measuring liquids: 8 fl oz. It's only a problem for flour, because how much you can fit in a cup varies depending on humidity and how much you pack it.
Except one cup in metric is 250 ml, not the ~236ml that a US cup is.
My time to shine! Hazelnut Choc Chip cookies, designed for Aquafaba. NB. You can switch out more of the hazelnut/almond meal to adjust the taste, but don't go much below 1/2 cup of almond! https://imgur.com/a/G2M1QoE 1 & 1/4 cup almond meal 1 & 1/4 cup hazelnut meal 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips 2/3 cup flour (gluten free blend works fine) 2/3 cup raw sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt (ideally fine) Mix above tog…

Texture and cost. The hazelnut meal tends to be a bit coarser, and is significantly more expensive, so you end up with gritty cookies that don't taste significantly more like hazelnut for more $$.
Waw, i'm surprised almonds are more expensive than hazelnuts where you are! I didn't check but i believe that in france hazelnuts are cheaper. What is sure is that the tree is far more common (in personal gardens).
This is as good a place as any to ask the following naive question: what is the name for the cooking liquid of pasta? Just recently, I cooked some spaghetti in a very small pot and fished it out using a fork. I forgot the pot in the sink. After 8 hours, the liquid had formed a pancake-like mass at the bottom of the pot. Is it the same as aquafaba, just from a different plant (wheat?). Is there any use to it?

Isnt it a UI/UX question? Most people have measuring cups in their kitchen. Not everyone has a scale.

I made a vegan pavlova just the other week. Took chickpea juice straight out of a regular can of chickpeas and whipped it up with sugar. No adjustment necessary.
The amount of salt, sugar and other preservatives in that water is probably not good. Try to cook your own chickpeas, it's super easy, fast if you know the tricks and a hell of a lot cheaper, and I am no vegan, just love them, you also generate less waste.

To add to this, there are at least 3 "cup" sizes for liquid: metric (~250ml), the US version (above, ~236ml) and an imperial cup (~284ml).

Most kitchens I know have a scale, but not measuring cups. I mean, why would you need measuring cups, unless you're sent a recipe from somewhere foreign?
We have two kitchen scales. I never get them confused. They're interchangeable.
