From Sunset's Cookies, cookbook. My DH thinks these are the greatest! I admit that they do make great gifts. From the intro: "Oversized cookies, often best-sellers at fund-raising events, are easy to make at home. [These...] reach a diameter of about 7 inches -- enough cookie to last all day! For variety, you can use butterscotch-flavored chips instead of chocolate."

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at a high temperature: A high temperature will help the cookies bake quickly and evenly.
Let the cookies cool completely before eating: The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so it's best to let them cool completely before eating them.
