Alicia's Low Sodium Chocolate Chip Cookies

I created these chocolate chip cookies when I was in middle school I believe (altered from the Tollhouse recipe). Here I've altered them to be low sodium. You can get Ener-G baking soda at Healthy Heart Market

INGREDIENTS

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 t regular baking soda (2.5 t ENER-G baking soda)
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 t almond extract
2 large eggs
12-oz package of chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375° F.

Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla& almond extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips by hand. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
