Some cookbook measurements: Abbr.

Answer:

TSPS

Hint:

Think of the small utensil you might use to measure vanilla extract or spices—its name is often shortened in recipes.

Explanation:

This clue asks for an abbreviation commonly used in cookbooks to represent small measurements. "TSPS" stands for "teaspoons," a unit you'd see in recipes alongside tablespoons (TBSPS) or cups. The "Abbr." in the clue signals that the answer is a shortened form rather than the full word. It’s a straightforward abbreviation puzzle with no hidden wordplay.
