It just means that you will not be putting it in the recipe all at the same time. If you read on, the directions 1st call for 3/4 sugar then in the second paragraph it calls for the remaining 1/4.
By he way those Rum Balls are an excellent choice!!

Look later in the recipe and see in the directions if it tells you to do something specific with a certain amount of sugar.. like it may tell you to mix in 1 half cup in the main recipe and then later tell you to use 1 half cup at a different time.. the total amount of sugar would be the 1 cup.

That means that the total recipe uses one cup of sugar but it gets used in two different steps so you divide it into 2 halfs.

I don't think anyone can explain all of these to you in one answer, bit let me say this. When interpreting the Bible you cannot take anything out of context. Everything different book was written by a different author, for a different peoples, in a different land, in a different time period, and with a different style. You cannot interpret everything all in the same way, nor can you take everything literally. Some things are metaphorical, symbolic, allegorical, poetic, parables, literal. Experts do what is called exegesis where they look at the original Greek, or whatever language it was originally, usually Greek, and study the real words and what they really mean. They study sentence structure, syntax. There is a lot that goes into interpreting the Bible, which makes it hard for ordinary people to do it. My suggestion to you is to go to a library or online and find a commentary on Holy Scripture. There are volumes and volumes of Bible commentary of people who have done exegesis and go line by line explaining what things mean. Here are a few I used in a exegesis I wrote: Henry, Matthew, and Thomas Scott. Commentary on the Holy Bible. Nashville: Royal Publishers, 1979. Orchard, Bernard. A Catholic commentary on Holy Scripture. Thomas Nelson & Sons, 1953. Penna, A. A New Catholic commentary on Holy Scripture. Malta: St Paul’s Press, 1969. There are plenty more, like I said, volumes of commentary. Look it up.

usually that means you need a total of 1 cup of sugar for the recipe. you will use some in one part and some in another part. in this case, if you read through the directions, you will start with 3/4 cup creamed together in the first part with the butter.
The remaining 1/4 is combined with the 1 1/2 TB finely chopped orange peel. after you chill the dough you made above with the 3/4 cup sugar, you roll it in the remaining sugar/orange peel mix.

Specifically it means; 1 cup divided into 2 half cups. These half cups will be added to your recipe at different steps in the preparation.

When you read the rest of the recipe you will see you use the rest the following day.
Use 3/4 cup at the first stage and 1/4 cup the following day.

1/2 cups for one step of the recipe. 1/2 cup for a later step.

You're going to use some of it at one point in the cooking, and the rest of it at a later point. Read the whole recipe before starting to see how to divide it.

Read the recipe all of the way through. You are probably going to need a portion of the cup for one thing and the other portion for something else in the same recipe.
