Recipe - Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie

1 cup Butter
1 cup Brown sugar
1 cup White sugar
2 Fresh eggs
1 cup Chunky peanut butter
2 One half cup Allpurpose flour
1 tablespoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
2 cup Chocolate chips

First, combine the butter and sugars. You can a mixer or try it by hand.
Then, add the peanut butter, the eggs, and finally the dry ingredients.

What's Tom's secret to the perfect cookie? Pure ingredients and a great
baking trick. Tom says that he never uses grease, "Use parchment instead.
Nothing sticks to it and it gives the cookies a nice, browning consistency
on the bottom."

Tom forms the cookies using a small ice cream scoop, then pops them into
the oven for about 15 minutes.

When in town, Mr. Clinton gets his special bananapeanut butter version
because he's allergic to chocolate. To have what the President eats, add
cut or sliced up bananas to the cookies for the last 2 minutes of baking.

Or, says Tom, when they come out of the oven you can put a Reeses peanut
butter cup on the top, pat it in, and let it cool.
