Gee, I Never Noticed

I've been making chocolate chip cookies most of my life. I know the recipe by heart and can generally make a batch in under an hour, including clean-up. I made a few dozen today and as I was double-checking the list of ingredients, something struck me for the first time. The recipe calls for 3/4 cup each of brown and white sugars and 2 1/4 cups flour. The flour is three times the amount of one of the sugars, which means you could use just the 3/4 measuring cup for all of the dry ingredients except for those measured with a teaspoon.
I'm pretty sure I've never figures that out before. Der!
