how far in advance can i bake cookies for x-mas gifts? i am thinking about baking biscottis and shortbread bookies. also, i was thinking i'd bake all day and then the next day i'd dip them in chocolate. will this be ok or do i have to dip in chocolate as soon as they get out of the oven?

You can bake at least a week in advance and still have "fresh cookies" if stored properly. You can make the dough a month in advance and freeze it. You can also freeze baked cookies. (Most cookies freeze well.)
I have never made biscotti, but most cookies should be cooled before you decorate and dip them in any topping.
