Chocolate chip conversion

Question

I'm making choclate chip drop cookies, and it calls for 1 oz of unsweetened chocolate chips, and 1 oz of sweetened chocolate chips. (then I have to melt them together)

I was wondering how many teaspoons or tablespoons or cups (whichever is right) of choclate chips is one ounce? (unmelted)

Answer 1

Well, a 12 oz. bag of chips = 2 cups

so 1 oz. = about 3 Tbsp.

I've never seen unsweetened choc. chips!  If you use 2 oz. of semi-sweet chips, you won't have to use 2 different chocolates, b/c semi-sweet is what the recipe is getting you to make by using unsweet and regular chocolate.

Answer 2

Six ounces, by weight, of chocolate chips equals one cup by volume.  So, one ounce of chocolate chips would be 1/6th of a cup.  If you have a 1/3 cup measure, just fill that half full.

Answer 3

An ounce in this case is probably a measurement of weight, I do a similar recipe and I always use 1 rounded tablespoon of each and it works fine.
