It had been a long time since I had a double-contact on a chip. Per Rule 14-4, that's a penalty stroke. So in essence, each hit of the ball counts as a stroke.
Actually that last statement isn't accurate. The rule says if you hit it more than once, then it's a penalty stroke. So if you somehow managed to hit the ball three times on one stroke, it would only count as two strokes (one stroke plus the penalty).
