How much does a cup of chocolate chips weigh?
A standard US cup of chocolate chips weighs about 170 grams (6.00 ounces). That makes it about 1.4 times heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour, and lighter than a cup of granulated sugar (200 g). This is why a converter that uses the same factor for every ingredient will give wrong answers: chocolate chips has its own density, and recipes depend on it.

Values are reference weights for level, unpacked measures unless the ingredient is normally packed. Brand, moisture, temperature and how firmly you fill the cup can shift the result by a few percent, so for precision baking weigh chocolate chips on a kitchen scale and use the cup figure only as a guide.
