Related to Chocolate Chips

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar is the sugar most chocolate chip cookie recipes call for, since the molasses holds moisture in the crumb around the chips as they set. Weigh both rather than trusting the scoop: a cup of chips is 180 g and a packed cup of brown sugar 220 g. See our Brown Sugar converter.

Cocoa Powder

Cocoa powder is unsweetened and dry, while chocolate chips are sweetened solid chocolate. Cocoa powder packs far lighter (120 g vs 180 g per cup), so the two are not interchangeable by volume or flavour; use cocoa for deep chocolate colour, chips for melty pockets. See our Cocoa Powder converter.
