The Chips Ahoy! chocolate chip cookie recipe is getting an update featuring a new type of chocolate chip, the company said Wednesday.
The change, the biggest in nearly 10 years, will feature chocolate chips with a higher cacao content, according to the company's press release. The chips will also have a higher concentrate Madagascar vanilla extract.
The company tested more than 60 recipes and spent more than 5,000 hours in the kitchen developing the new "MMMproved" Chips Ahoy! chocolate chip cookie recipe, senior director Sabrina Sierant said in a press release. Mondelez International, the company that owns Chips Ahoy! and Oreo, among other brands said they had net revenue of around $36 billion last year.
