Best Chocolate Chips for Baking Cookies per America's Test Kitchen

Thank you, Dan. Great to have you here.

I get blocks of Callebaut - dark, milk, or white - and chop them into chunks. I much orefer that to chips. 🤷🏻

^ prefer!

Who got to eat all those chocolate chip cookies??!

Fun Fact: A Little Night Music's Laurence Guittard is of the Guittard family of chocolatiers.

I make ATK chocolate chip cookies all the time so I'm definitely qualified to answer this one.

The CORRECT answer is 1 bar of Lindt 70% cocoa and 1 bar of Lindt dark chocolate with sea salt. Break up both bars by hand and then mix them together.

Yes the correct answer is either Lindt or Cailler cooking chocolate. Cailler has Milk, 64% and 80%. The Cailler milk chocolate "kitchen" variety is out of this world, for some reason. Mix it with the 80%.

I never liked dark chocolate.

Some dark chocolates can taste just plain sour. I don't even mind the bitter taste, it's the sour taste.

And, yeah, you can probably just use any chocolate you like. I'd break up two bars of Lindt: one dark and one milk.

What about the vomit 🤢 🤮 taste ratio? Many Americans prefer a hint of puke 🤢 🤮 in their chocolate 🍫! 😃

Milk chocolate is a horrible choice because the cookies are already loaded with sugar, r9. That's why dark works so well.
