Question
Should one recite the Grace After Meals for any type of cookie when consuming more than 215 grams? Including shortbread cookies, butter cookies, tahini, etc.
Answer
Hello,
The measure for the Grace After Meals is not determined by grams but by volume.
One should avoid consuming a volume of 200 cc due to the concern of the obligation of the Grace After Meals.
However, due to doubt, one should not recite the Grace After Meals unless consuming a volume of 800 cc.
Any type of cookie you mentioned combines for the Grace After Meals in the mentioned measure.
