Well, a chip is just a little piece of something. Like a wood chip and a ice chip. So a chocolate chip is just a little piece of chocolate.

Because they look like tiny bits of chocolate that have been chipped off a bar I suppose!

A chip can also mean a small piece, (like a chip off the old block). Mind you it would be better if the choc chips were the size of chips wouldnt it?

huh? We call them chocolate chip cookies b/c they are cookies that contain chocolate chips. Not b/c they look like a chip, but b/c they contain chocolate chips. Get it?

Because it is cheaper to drip chocolate than it is to have a guy sit and chip bits of chocolate off of a bar.
And "chocolate drip" cookie doesn't have a good ring either.
