Found this in the Miami Herald - am going to give it a whirl. Has all the right stuff... & it snowed today... The King's favorite sandwich lives on in this cookie. Go with your gut -- not your head -- on this one; the combination of peanut butter, bacon and bananas really is delicious.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and two sugars. Use an electric mixer on medium to beat until well combined. Beat in the egg until just combined. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. With the mixer on low, add flour and soda to peanut butter mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gently mix in the bacon and bananas, trying not to mash the bananas.
- Using slightly wet hands, roll rounded teaspoons of dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between them. Dip the tines of a fork into water, then flatten the cookies until they are about 1 ½ inches around.
- Bake on the middle rack for 11 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then remove with a spatula to racks to cool completely. .

THE ELVIS: PEANUT BUTTER, BANANA AND BACON CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Elvis Presley had a knack for making people swoon, and so does the flavor combination in this thick, sturdy cookie. It seems so wrong yet tastes so right: bacon, peanuts, chocolate and banana chips. It's unforgettable.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, then drain on paper towels. Once the bacon is cool, roughly chop it (you should have about 1/2 cup).
- Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat the butter, mayonnaise and sugars with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Add the peanut butter and vanilla and beat until combined.
- At low speed, add the flour mixture in batches, beating until just combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate chunks, bacon, peanuts and banana chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.
- Fill the muffin tins about halfway full with the batter (a 2-inch, 2-ounce ice cream scoop gives you just about the perfect amount, and helps prevent spilling).
- Bake until the tops are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. (Keep in mind that the cookies won't rise and form a dome like a cupcake.) Let cool in the muffin tins on wire racks for about 10 minutes, then unmold the cookie cups and transfer them to the racks to cool completely.

Tips:
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a large cookie scoop to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to create the frosting design.
- Be creative with your frosting design! You can use different colors of frosting, sprinkles, or even edible glitter to make your cookies look extra special.
