Measuring chocolate chips by cup and by weight
A cup of regular semisweet chocolate chips weighs about 170 g, which is also the size of a standard 6-ounce bag. Mini chips are smaller and pack more tightly, about 177 g a cup. Many cookie recipes call for "one 12-ounce bag", about 2 cups or 340 g. Weighing avoids the surprise of cups that are heaped because the chips don't nest.
