I don’t think that is a w on the chocolate chips. Look at the butter OR margarine. I think it is 6 oz or 12 oz.
Your interpretation makes better sense than what I had Paula so I’m running with it, thanks for taking a look!
it means and
On the recipe it calls for 6 or 12 oz’s of chips. I have baked these for my Family for years. The recipe was passed down from my Husbands Mother.
I have a recipe for these from a great-great Aunt. It calls for 1 pkg.(12 oz.) choc.chips. The only other variation I see is it just calls for brown sugar, doesn’t state dark brown.
That is what I thought too, that 18 oz. of choc chips is what she was saying. Seems like there is a lot of flour for only 6 oz. But I guess we will have to make it with 12 oz. and see if there is enough room for 6 more oz. of chocolate! lol
I think it just means 6 or 12 oz c. chocolate chips maybe just for your choice of more or less chips
I think the baker wrote: 6 to 12 oz. chips….
It looks
Like it says 1 bag w/ 12oz chocolate chips
I think it says…1 bag or 12 oz. It looks like my Mom’s handwriting.
If you enlarge it, it says 6oz. W (with) 12oz.
I think it says 1 “bag” or 12oz chocolate chips, since a bag is usually 12 ounces?
