RED VELVET CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

This recipe is from another Epicure consultant, and it makes a huge batch (5 dozen). The raspberry and beet powder gives these cookies a nice red colour and unique flavour, without all the food dye you usually find in red velvet desserts.

2 1/4 c. flour
2/3 c. Epicure's Red Velvet dip mix
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
2/3 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 c. white chocolate chips

Sift dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, cream remaining ingredients together except for chocolate chips. Gradually mix in dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips. Scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 F for 9-11 minutes.
