DAE chill their cookie dough before baking?

I used to bake cookies right after mixing and they always spread too much. Letting the dough sit in the fridge for a bit helps them hold their shape way better!

Helping them hold their shape is so true... I once chilled a batch for too long and the cookies baked up weirdly thick.

My cookies always came out flat because I never chilled the dough. Reading about how cold butter slows spreading made me try it. Now I chill for at least an hour, and the cookies keep their shape much better. Even a short chill time makes a big difference compared to baking right away. I haven't chilled too long yet, but I can see how that might change the texture.
