If the chips are just mixing into the batter before baking, cut the bark into small pieces and mix in instead. Sounds good.

How many chocolate chips equal 4 squares unsweetened chocolate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Baking chocolate squares are about 1 ounce of chocolate (although some may be smaller 1/2 ounce squares). You can use a food scale to measure out the corresponding amount of chocolate chips - ie 4 ounces of chips for 4 squares. If you don't have a scale I've found that this usually works out to about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.

How is a chocolate chip cookie like a rock?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here's how:

Granny Sue walks in the room. She takes out dough, sugar, chocolate chips, and butter. She mixes them all up and smoosh and work with the mixture for 12 hours straight, without any rest. She goes, "Oh dear." Why? The mixture is mixed so well and so fast. But the water in the mixture dried up. Granny Sue puts it in the oven, anyway, without shaping it to cookie sizes. 2 hours pass. "Oh, I have forgotten about the cookies." she shouts. When she takes it out, the "cookies" have turn out to be a big, dry, burnt lump of blackened dough. She can't eat it because it has turned out to be like a rock.

A chocolate chip cookies should be warm, soft, and delicious. It should not be like a rock at all!

They are nothing like rocks.

Because they are both not good for you.

I don't think rocks are like chocolate chip cookies in any way!

Why do your first batch of chocolate chips cookies always flatten out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This doesn't always happen. Maybe it happens to you because you check the oven more on the first go, but on following goes you don't check it as often. Or it could be because sometimes on your first goes of things, you mess up. Just keep trying.

How do you moisten dry chocolate chip cookies after baking them?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Moist" in baked goods isn't related to water. It's related to fat. If you use a hard fat, such as butter or lard, you end up with a crispier cookie. If you use a liquid oil, you end up with a softer cookie. If you use an oil that's been hydrogenated, partially or fully, you end up with trans fats which make your cookies more dangerous than cigarettes. In the 1980s, they started selling "soft" cookies in grocery stores. These used corn syrup instead of sugar. They also tasted pretty lousy. Butter is 80% fat, 20% water, and when you're baking, the water evaporates. Not a very good result. Lard works better. The best pie crusts are made from lard, too. Be sure not to overbake the cookies. And make sure you have plenty of ice-cold milk.

Do you need to add flour to chocolate chip cookies if you used stick margarine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Butter does not have to be used as the shortening for cookies/biscuits, but has the advantage of being a form of shortening that melts at body temperature, and therefore gives a luxurious mouth-feel or melt-in-the-mouth texture to the final cookie or biscuit.

Butter also has a flavour that complements sweet foods.

Asked by Wiki User

If you mean 1 oz squares (ie Baker's), 12 ounces would equal one 12-ounce bag of chips, or about two cups. Nestle's is making baking squares that are only half an ounce, so 12 of those would be 6 ounces of chips, or about one cup.
