Some of them tell you they can be kept in an airtight container for a certain amount of time. I think I'd start, at the most, a week in advance. Nothing is worse than stale cookies. I have a good CC cookie recipe if you're interested

Chocolate Chip cookies
Ingredients
# 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened # 1 cup light brown sugar # 3 tablespoons granulated sugar # 1 large egg # 2 teaspoons vanilla extract # 1-3/4 cups all purpose flour # 1/2 teaspoon baking powder # 1/2 teaspoon baking soda # 1/2 teaspoon salt # 1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder # 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds)
2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.
4. Using a 1 ounce scoop or a 2 tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.
Yield: 2 dozen cookies

Roll pecan cookies in confectioners' sugar while still hot. Makes about 4 dozen
