To keep them fresh... On the counter shelf life is limited. However, if you bake them then freeze them you can keep them up to three months prior to serving.
I always freeze cookies prior to shipping for that reason. They'll be thaw ny the time they arrive but they'll be fresh still.
This way you can bake the cookies at leisure, and they'll still be fresh when it's time to give them to people.
Make sense?

You only bake them once and you thaw them prior to eating.
Step 1) You bake the cookies
Step 2) you allow the cookies to cool
Step 3) you package the cookies, removing air from the bag.
Step 4) you freeze the cookies
Prior to serving - you set the cookies out to thaw and enjoy after thawing. It doesn't take much time for cookies to thaw just sitting out on the counter.
If you freeze them correctly they will be just as fresh after thawing as they were the day they were baked.

maybe its a north american thing? 
For mailing I always freeze cookies and pack them frozen surrounded by ice packs and that way they survive the mailing better and are still fresh by the time they arrive.
I also like to have snacks, like cookies, in the house for when company drops by unexpectedly etc. And having some cookies that can be grabbed from the freezer and quickly thawed is just a nice thing.
If you were to make cookies just for yourself you could only eat one or two straight from the oven.
After that you're just going to be eating room temperature cookies.
You can always freeze cookie dough and thaw the dough prior to baking and on occasion I do that too but it's not practical in every situation such as the one you're in needing 300 cookies at the same time.
ok that is weird
I dont think mailing frozen goods would work in my country..it would melt and the parcel would be dripping wet and ruin all the other parcels and letters.
If we do send biscuits (we dont call them cookies generally) we send them in a tin. To be eaten with a hot cup of tea and dunked if they are too hard. Or keep them in a jar. If kept in air tight storage, like a sistema box or tin or sealed jar, they can keep and will not go stale.
But the best cookies are fresh from the oven. If they come fresh from the oven they may all be gone in 5 minutes.
You can heat up chocolate chip cookies in the microwave for about 20 second and the chocolate will melt and its nice but the abosolute best is freshly baked from the oven.

I use ice packs - not actual ice. They are like these:
They don't melt, just a little condensation that a few paper towels take care of.
For shipping food I either use overnight shipping or at most 2 day shipping. Things thaw, but mail is pretty fast here in the US.
Not every cookie you eat can be hot from the oven. Most people are fine with room temperature, hot from the oven is more a special treat.
At any rate I was just trying to give you some tips to make it easier for you to get those cookies out to the meals on wheels people. Your free to take it or leave it.
Good luck getting out 300 cookies all hot from the oven to the people who need them.
