Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Grease a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Cream the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and stir in the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips and Reese's Pieces. Flatten and spread the cookie dough on the cookie sheet. Bake the cookie in the oven for about 17-19 minutes. Allow the cookie to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve.
Article: Place the pieces of fruit, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Set the saucepan on the stove. A few different fruit options worth considering include: blackberry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, mulberry, cherry, pineapple, apple, and mango. Finely chopped rhubarb stalks are another option. Unless you're using small berries, dice the fruit into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) pieces before adding it to the saucepan. Set the stove to medium heat and gradually bring the contents of the saucepan to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Place the lid on the saucepan and cook the contents for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves and a moderately thick syrup forms. Note that the color of the syrup should be similar to the color of the fruit at this time. The fruit itself should be significantly softened. Pour the contents of the saucepan through a sieve. Collect the syrup and discard the solid chunks of fruit. To squeeze out as much flavor from the fruit as possible, lightly mash it with the back of a fork or mixing spoon before pouring the contents of the saucepan through the sieve. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before using it for an Italian or French soda. For best results, let the syrup cool at room temperature on your kitchen counter. If you need to speed things up, cool it for 30 to 60 minutes in a refrigerator. Do not add warm syrup to the Italian soda since it will cause the ice to melt too quickly. Store any excess syrup in the refrigerator.

Article: Wearing your seatbelt is one of the most important things you can do to survive a car crash. Make sure that your lap belt sits low on your hip bones and that the shoulder belt goes across the center of your chest. Children should be seated in proper child restraints until they are large enough to properly wear a lap and shoulder belt. You won't have to worry about head support unless you are driving a really old car from the 1980s or under. Older cars, which may just have lap belts and almost never have any additional safety features, are generally less safe than large vehicles. SUVs tend to be more prone to rollover accidents than cars. Try to drive the safest car that suits your needs and budget. The Insurance Institute for highway safety maintains extensive crash test ratings and lists of safe vehicles of different sizes and styles. In Europe, Euro NCAP maintains these ratings. Their website is at http://euroncap.com If an object could become a projectile during a crash, either remove it from the car, or stow it in the trunk, or, in the case of a minivan, in the well behind the seat. Airbags and seat-belts significantly reduce injury and death in automobile accidents. If there is a high-speed crash, the car's airbags inflate. They have saved lives, but they inflate with such force that if you are leaning against the dashboard when they inflate you will be thrown backward and injured. If the car has curtain airbags (also called side airbags) it is also dangerous to lean against the sides of the car.

Wear your seat belt. Drive a safe car which is fitted with seat belts and other safety features. Store objects so that they will not hit you if the car gets hit. Make sure the safety systems on your car are serviced regularly. Do not lean against the dashboard.
