recommendation needed

[cellio]

The sys admin/owner of my shell provider has been having a rough time with some recent upgrades and stuff, and I feel like I've asked him more than my fair share of questions even though I was trying to stay out of the way. So I asked:

By the way, what is your non-hardware vice of choice? Chocolate? Cookies? Booze?

His response was "chocolate rum cookies" (nothing like hitting all the categories :-) ). So I'm in search of a recipe that (1) is tasty and (2) will ship well. I'll also consider purveyors of same, especially if they'll figure out how to pack perishables for shipping.

Any suggestions?

Coincidentally, I just made these except with bourbon -- a quarter cup, and they're still pretty bourbony, so I wonder if a half cup would make fireballs.
