Chocolate chip bag sizes in cups
A cup of chocolate chips weighs about 170 g, which makes the standard bags easy to convert: a 12 oz (340 g) bag is exactly 2 cups, a 10 oz bag is about 1⅔ cups, and a 24 oz bag is about 4 cups. So a recipe asking for 2 cups of chips is simply one 12 oz bag.
Chips hold their shape in the oven thanks to added stabilizers; if you want melty pools instead, swap in chopped chocolate or chunks.
