You can order a delectable Peruvian-style version fresh from the ovens of California-based Split Bean Coffee Co. For $9.95 plus shipping, you get either 12 standard-size or 24 bite-size cookies. Chocolate-coated alfajores are also available, as is a $16.95 ''holiday fancy'' box. The ordering deadline for holiday shipment is Friday at www.splitbeancoffee.com or 818-448-5185.
