The cookies I got this year were from an outfit in Richmond, VA. Probably those
guys. But, the boxes were binned long ago so I can't check.

      Title: Chocolate Chile Cookies
 Categories: Snacks, Desserts, Chocolate, Chilies
      Yield: 1 Recipe
 
      1 lg Egg
    115 g  Sifted plain flour
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Baking powder
    115 g  Butter; room temp
    100 g  Soft brown sugar
           4o g  Oats
     80 g  Chocolate; your choice, in
           - chunks
    1/2 ts To 1 ts chile powder
           +=AND/OR=+
    1/2    To 3 fresh chilies; chopped,
           - seeded
 
  Put all of the ingredients apart from the chocolate in
  your food processor and whizz up until smooth and creamy
  then mix in the chocolate chunks.
  
  Place the dough on some cling film and wrap up into a
  sausage shape, about 3-5 cm in diameter (depends on how
  many cookies you want to make and how big you want them)
  
  Place dough in freezer for half an hour. While the dough
  is chilling pre heat your oven to 175øC/350øF.
  
  When the dough is chilled, slice with a sharp knife and
  place on some grease proof paper on a baking tray making
  sure you leave plenty of space between the cookies as they
  will double in size.
  
  Bake in the oven for 8-10 mins until golden, allow to cool
  a bit before eating as they are a bit too crumbly when
  hot.
