I'm an OH girl, so some of my friends have had cookie tables. They just told their MILs/MILs' friends/etc. about the tradition and asked them to bake for it. They were actually happy to have been asked.
Just tell them that it's tradition, that you've heard that they are great bakers and that you' love to have some of their cookies at the wedding. If you flatter people, they're more likely to want to participate (especially seeing how important it is to your event.)
Oh, and I have just decreed that you can't have a cookie table thread without cookie table idea pics:
