About this weight

Universal figure. Published charts for chocolate chips typically range from 170-175 grams per cup, depending on how the cup is filled. Our figures follow a two-source policy: King Arthur's spooned-and-leveled weights for dry ingredients, and measured density for liquids. The typical published range is shown so you can see how much methods differ. For baking accuracy, weigh with a scale whenever a recipe gives grams; see why bakers weigh.
