[quote=Anonymous]My favorite is Callebaut callets, but they are really high cocoa butter and will definitely be melty. If you don’t want them to be melty while the cookies are warm, look for “baking chips” with a non-cocoa butter fat. If you use real chocolate chips, they won’t be “tempered” any more after you bake them. Tempering has to do with the way the fat crystallizes. Tempered chocolate solidifies quickly and is shiny and snappy. Your chips in the cookie will stay soft a lot longer and will stay softer than they were originally. Using a chip with a different fat avoids that. It’s usually palm oil I think and it will just go back to how it was when it cools. That’s how “candy melts” and things like that work too. [/quote]
