This seems like an excellent solution.

edit: I've just noticed that this is something someone with no experience in crypto would say. Sometimes things actually get worse with randomization, for example when there is a flaw that will always allow bytes 160 and 161 to be revealed. If the position of the cookie is randomized it will fully be revealed instead of possibly just two bytes. Before actually implementing this someone with a few crypto publications should take a look at it ;)
