Favorite Boozy cookie/brownie/whatever dessert I can mail?

I'm making a get well package to send to someone and a running joke involves cocktails, so I'd like to include something I can make that has booze in it. Given it's so soon after the holidays I didn't want to make rum balls or something so holiday-ish.

Any ideas?

 
I sometimes add bourbon or Frangelico to my brownies and chocolate cakes. They go really well with

chocolate. Also, cognac, dark rum, etc.

Grand Marnier or Cointreau can also be added, but I'm not wild about the chocolate/orange combination.

 
I love Frangelico cheesecake and used to include a tiny bottle of it along with

Lindt white chocolate bars and the recipe, but those little bottle of the monk are getting really hard to find these days. I always add more liquor and more chocolate (the whole bar) and I've never had a cracking problem.

It would ship easily if frozen.

Recipe uses white chocolate, liquor and hazelnuts. It's from Epicurious.

Thanks! I ended up making REC: Bailey's Brownies - yummy!

I ended up making these because it was quick/easy and I could get them in today's mail. They were quite good (she said forcing herself not to eat more than one) and you could definitely taste the Bailey's.


Bailey’s Brownies

Adapted from Cooking Light
Makes 9-12 servings

Don’t let the Cooking Light origin scare you. These brownies don’t taste “light” at all. I also made a few changes that may disqualify the recipe from being considered “light” anymore. Note that the original recipe calls for making 16 brownies out of an 9-inch square pan, but let’s be honest – no one cuts their brownies that small. I used Ghirardelli 60% Bittersweet chips and Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa powder.
Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
heaping 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup Baileys Irish Cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan with cooking or baking spray.

Measure flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.

Beat 2 eggs in a small bowl. In a saucepan set over low heat, melt butter and chocolate chips slowly, stirring frequently. When completely melted, remove chocolate mixture from heat. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out some of the chocolate mixture and slowly pour it into the eggs, beating constantly to temper the eggs. Stir the egg mixture into chocolate mixture. Add sugar, vanilla, and Baileys. Stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes or until sugar has dissolved.

Fold the chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350°F for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
